All About Cinder Block Storage Openstack

OpenStack Block Storage, also known as Cinder is a block storage management component. In other words, it creates volumes and attaches them to instances. These volumes are used on instances just like other block devices. Furthermore, we can partition the block device as well as create a file system and mount it on the block device.

The snapshot management functionality of Cinder allows users to handle snapshots of block volumes and instances.

Another advantage offered by Cinder is its ability to offer a catalog of block-based devices with different characteristics.

Our Support Team would like to point out that since Cinder is an abstraction layer for storage management, we may not have access to additional features or functionality, of a particular storage system or device. However, we can get access if the vendor makes them available through product-specific drivers.

According to our Support Techs, we can work with Cinder via the OpenStack interface Horizon, the REST API, or command-line tools.

Different Components of OpenStack Block Storage

• Cinder-api: Routes the accepted API requests towards cinder-volume.
• Cinder-volume: Block storage for instances on request.
• Messaging queue: Sends information among block storage components.
• Cinder-scheduler: Selects the optimal block storage node for creating the requested volume.
• Cinder-backup: Backs up and also restores volumes as well as snapshots.
