<br>
As we continue forward with OpenStack Manila and Kubernetes integration with GlusterFS, we require a simpler method of managing volumes and bricks. We introduce Heketi ( <a href="https://github.com/heketi" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/heketi</a> ), a RESTful storage management framework which enables certain storage systems to be easily managed. Heketi poses itself not an abstraction layer, but instead as a framework for developers to enhance their existing storage system management through a plugin interface. Heketi also provides a RESTful interface which enables callers to easily manage the storage system. For GlusterFS, currently we only plan on managing the creation and deletion of volumes in GlusterFS through a simple RESTful interface. Heketi will also manage the brick location and life cycle.<br>
<br>
Heketi allows users to create volumes with a simple command and not worry about which bricks to use. A simple command to create a 1 TB volume would look like this:<br>
<br>
POST on http://<server>/volumes, with JSON { "size" : 1000000000 }<br>
<br>
To delete the volume:<br>
<br>
DELETE on http://<server>/volumes/<id of volume><br>
<br>
<br>
* A demo is available <a href="https://github.com/heketi/vagrant-heketi" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/heketi/vagrant-heketi</a> , so please try it out and let us know what you think.<br>
<br>
<br>
** Heketi is still quite young, but the plan is to finish by early September.<br>
<br>
Please let us know what you think.<br>
<br>
