The main responsibility is to create and manage [containers]({{<ref "concept/Containers.md">}}) which is the main replication unit of Ozone. + + + + +## Main responsibilities + +Storage container manager provides multiple critical functions for the Ozone +cluster. SCM acts as the cluster manager, Certificate authority, Block +manager and the Replica manager. + +SCM is in charge of creating an Ozone cluster. When an SCM is booted up via `init` command, SCM creates the cluster identity and root certificates needed for the SCM certificate authority. SCM manages the life cycle of a data node in the cluster. + + 1. SCM is the block manager. SCM +allocates blocks and assigns them to data nodes. Clients +read and write these blocks directly. + + 2. SCM keeps track of all the block +replicas. If there is a loss of data node or a disk, SCM +detects it and instructs data nodes make copies of the +missing blocks to ensure high availability. + + 3. **SCM's Ceritificate authority** is in +charge of issuing identity certificates for each and every +service in the cluster. This certificate infrastructure makes +it easy to enable mTLS at network layer and the block +token infrastructure depends on this certificate infrastructure. + +## Main components + +For a detailed view of Storage Container Manager this section gives a quick overview about the provided network services and the stored persisted data. + +**Network services provided by Storage Container Manager:** Review comment: Thanks a lot.
