We would like to introduce you to a new community-driven OpenStack
project called Ekko.
The aim of Ekko is to provide incremental block-level backup and restore
of Nova instances. We see backups as a key area that is missing in
OpenStack. One issue that has previously prevented backups in OpenStack
is the scalability of the storage backend. Object-storage is the answer
to this scalability problem, but with block-based backups you often see
large files that require POSIX operations to perform retention and
deletions. These operations are not able to be performed in the
traditional way in object storage, which has prevented leveraging
object-storage to its full potential. With Ekko we can solve this issue
allowing us to use storage that can scale with OpenStack.
Hi!
How does Ekko compare to / differ from Freezer, which is an official
OpenStack project targeted to the same problem space ? I suspect this is
more low-level ? Is there some potential for convergence between the two
projects ?
