Introduction to Manila Shared Filesystem Management Service
===========================================================
Manila is the File Share service project for OpenStack. To administer the
OpenStack File Share service, it is helpful to understand a number of concepts
like share networks, shares, multi-tenancy and back ends that can be configured
with Manila. When configuring the File Share service, it is required to declare
at least one back end. Manila can be configured to run in a single-node
configuration or across multiple nodes. Manila can be configured to provision
shares from one or more back ends.
The OpenStack File Share service allows you to offer file-share services to
users of an OpenStack installation.
