Dear All,
As a follow-up to the Raksha<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Raksha> proposal,
we checked in a “prototype” code into github. Here are the links for the wiki
and github source code…
Raksha project wiki – http://wiki.openstack.com/wiki/raksha
Raksha github:
◦ Raksha service - http://github.com/dpaas-raksha/raksha
◦ Raksha client – http://github.com/dpaas-raksha/python-client
◦ Raksha dashboard – http://github.com/dpaas-raksha/horizon
◦ Raksha devstack – http://github.com/dpaas-raksha/devstack
Finally, please also take a look at this short video that demonstrates the key
features of Raksha. Raksha Demo<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc8k_7BIaEc>
Please note that this is still work in progress that requires integration with
neutron and vm metadata backup etc
After the initial proposal of Raksha, there is an excellent dialog and feedback
from the community…
1. Better integration with Cinder backup APIs.
2. Leverage TaskFlow
3. Explore integration with Heat.
To address the above and any additional improvements, we would like the
community to participate and contribute. Also here is a proposal for the
Icehouse Design Summit Topic “http://summit.openstack.org/cfp/details/88”
Looking forward to have a great dialog at the summit.
Regards,
Giri

Subject: [openstack-dev] Proposal for Raksha, a Data Protection As a Service
project
Hello Stackers,
We would like to introduce a new project Raksha, a Data Protection As a Service
(DPaaS) for OpenStack Cloud.
Raksha’s primary goal is to provide a comprehensive Data Protection for
OpenStack by leveraging Nova, Swift, Glance and Cinder. Raksha has following
key features:
1. Provide an enterprise grade data protection for OpenStack based clouds
2. Tenant administered backups and restores
3. Application consistent backups
4. Point In Time(PiT) full and incremental backups and restores
5. Dedupe at source for efficient backups
6. A job scheduler for periodic backups
7. Noninvasive backup solution that does not require service interruption
during backup window
You will find the rationale behind the need for Raksha in OpenStack in its
Wiki. The wiki also has the preliminary design and the API description. Some
of the Raksha functionality may overlap with Nova and Cinder projects and as a
community lets work together to coordinate the features among these projects.
We would like to seek out early feedback so we can address as many issues as we
can in the first code drop. We are hoping to enlist the OpenStack community
help in making Raksha a part of OpenStack.
Raksha’s project resources:
Wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Raksha
Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/raksha
Github: https://github.com/DPaaS-Raksha/Raksha (We will upload a prototype code
in few days)
If you want to talk to us, send an email to
[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
with "[raksha]" in the subject or use #openstack-raksha irc channel.
Best Regards,
Murali Balcha
