Description

Backs NFS-based secondary storage with an S3-compatible object store. Periodically, a reaper thread synchronizes templates and ISOs stored on a NFS secondary storage mount with a configured S3 object store. It also pushes snapshots to the object store when they are created and downloads them in other zones on-demand. In addition to permitting the use of commodity or IaaS storage solutions for static assets, it provides a means of automatically synchronizing template and ISO assets across multiple zones.
