Raksha is a scalable data protection service for OpenStack tenants without the burden of handling complex administrative tasks associated with setting up backup products. OpenStack tenants can choose backup policies for their workloads and the service leverages existing hooks in Nova and Cinder to provide data protection services to tenants. This service will initially focus on providing an enterprise grade data protection to OpenStack tenants, while automating data protection tasks including consistent snap of resources, creating space efficient data streams for snapped resources and streaming the backup data to swift end points. Just like any other service in OpenStack, Data Protection as a Service is consumed by tenants. Horizon dashboard will be enhanced to support data protection.
