Manila share protectable and protection plugins

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/karbor/+spec/manila-share-proection-plugin

Problem description

The shares managed by Manila can not be protected by Karbor now. Currently, Manila allows the user to create snapshots of the share. So the protection feature of share can be introduced to karbor by making a snapshot of the share.

Use Cases

User creates the share in Manila, and mounts it to the server. Then the share is used for saving lots of files data by user. To avoid the loss of files data,the user want to protect the shares by making periodic snapshots of this share. If the user want to restore the share, he can create a new share from a snapshot.

Proposed change

Manila share protectable plugin:

A new protectable plugin about Manila share need be implemented. The type of resource share is “OS::Manila::Share”. It will be added to the constant RESOURCE_TYPES in karbor.

1. The parent resource types: PROJECT_RESOURCE_TYPE.

2. list the resources: This interface of plugin will call the ‘list’ method of ShareManager in manilaclient.

3. show the resource: This interface of plugin will call the ‘get’ method of ShareManager in manilaclient. The parameter is a share id.

4. get dependent resources: The parameter parent_resource is a project, this interface of plugin will return the shares in this project.

Manila share protection plugin

A new protection plugin about Manila share need be implemented.

1. Protect Operation: The ‘create’ method of ShareSnapshotManager will be called in the main hook of this operation to make a snapshot of the share.

2. Restore Operation: The ‘create’ method of ShareManager will be called in the main hook of this operation to create a new share from the giving snapshot.

3. Delete Operation: The share snapshot will be deleted. The ‘delete’ method of ShareSnapshotManager will be called in the main hook of this operation to delete the share snapshot.
