OpenStack Cinder

OpenStack Cinder is a storage management system used in cloud computing environments. It allows users to create, attach, and manage virtual storage devices called volumes, which serve as flexible, persistent storage for applications and virtual machines. Cinder works with various storage backends, enabling scalable and reliable data storage without needing physical hardware adjustments. Essentially, it provides the cloud with a way to handle storage resources dynamically, ensuring data is retained and accessible even when virtual servers are created, moved, or deleted.
