Configure storage services

After deploying Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift (RHOSO), you can customize your storage services to meet specific performance, security, and scalability needs for your environment.

Configure the following storage services to optimize resources and provide different service levels to cloud users:

• Block Storage service (cinder): Control resource usage with quotas and volume types, configure encryption for sensitive data, and set Quality of Service (QoS) specifications to ensure predictable performance for different workloads. You can also configure backup parameters to meet data protection requirements.
• Image service (glance): Configure import workflows to control image uploads, enable caching and sparse uploads for performance, and use signing verification and API controls to enhance security. Set quota limits to control resource consumption across projects.
• Object Storage service (swift): Configure ring configurations and data plane nodes to balance performance, capacity, and reliability. Scale storage capacity on OpenShift nodes or external data plane nodes.
• Shared File Systems service (manila): Create share types for different service levels, manage shared resources, and configure quota allocations for projects and users.
