This commit introduces the LightOS driver for nova. LightOS is a software-defined disaggregated clustered storage solution running on commodity servers with commodity SSDs. It it developed by Lightbits Labs (https://www.lightbitslabs.com) and is actively developed and maintained. LightOS is proprietary but the openstack drivers are licensed under Apache v2.0. The Cinder driver for LightOS currently supports the following functionality: Create volume Delete volume Attach volume Detach volume Create image from volume create volume from image Live migration Volume replication Thin provisioning Multi-attach Extend volume Create snapshot Delete snapshot Create volume from snapshot Create volume from volume (clone) This driver has been developed and has been in use for a couple of years by Lightbits and our clients. We have tested it extensively internally with multiple openstack versions, including Queens, Rocky, Stein, and Train. We have also tested it with master (19.1 xena) and we are working to extend testing to cover additional openstack releases. We are glad to join the openstack community and hope to get your feedback and comments on this driver, and if it is acceptable, to see it merged into the tree. Note: the patch depends on os-brick 5.2.0. That version also increased the lower constraints of several dependencies, thus needs nova to increase those as well in requirements.txt, lower-constraints.txt and setup.cfg.

variety of compute technologies, including: libvirt (KVM, Xen, LXC and more),
Hyper-V, VMware, OpenStack Ironic and PowerVM.
Use the following resources to learn more.
API
---
To learn how to use Nova's API, consult the documentation available online at:
- `Compute API Guide <https://docs.openstack.org/api-guide/compute/>`__
- `Compute API Reference <https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/>`__
For more information on OpenStack APIs, SDKs and CLIs in general, refer to:
- `OpenStack for App Developers <https://www.openstack.org/appdev/>`__
- `Development resources for OpenStack clouds
<https://developer.openstack.org/>`__
Operators
---------
To learn how to deploy and configure OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation
available online at:
- `OpenStack Nova <https://docs.openstack.org/nova/>`__
In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to
the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party
operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for
reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker,
available at:
- `Bug Tracker <https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova>`__
Developers
----------
For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the
CONTRIBUTING.rst.
Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst
file, and pass all unit tests.
Further developer focused documentation is available at:
- `Official Nova Documentation <https://docs.openstack.org/nova/>`__
- `Official Client Documentation
<https://docs.openstack.org/python-novaclient/>`__
Other Information
-----------------
During each `Summit`_ and `Project Team Gathering`_, we agree on what the whole
community wants to focus on for the upcoming release. The plans for nova can
