The OpenStack Block Storage service provides block storage devices
|
|
to guest instances. The method in which the storage is provisioned and
|
|
consumed is determined by the Block Storage driver, or drivers
|
|
in the case of a multi-backend configuration. There are a variety of
|
|
drivers that are available: NAS/SAN, NFS, iSCSI, Ceph, and more.
|
|
The Block Storage API and scheduler services typically run on the controller
|
|
nodes. Depending upon the drivers used, the volume service can run
|
|
on controllers, compute nodes, or standalone storage nodes.
|
|
For more information, see the
|

`Configuration Reference <http://docs.openstack.org/liberty/
|
|
config-reference/content/section_volume-drivers.html>`__.

.. note::

|
This chapter omits the backup manager because it depends on the
|
|
Object Storage service.
