Using OpenStack Shared File Systems

Before working with the Shared File System service, you’ll need to create a connection to your OpenStack cloud by following the Connect user guide. This will provide you with the conn variable used in the examples below.

List Availability Zones

A Shared File System service availability zone is a failure domain for your shared file systems. You may create a shared file system (referred to simply as shares) in a given availability zone, and create replicas of the share in other availability zones.

def list_availability_zones(conn):
    print("List Shared File System Availability Zones:")
    for az in conn.share.availability_zones():
        print(az)
