 So I'll get going. I know it's the last session of the day, so I don't want to hold you up for your evening plans. My name's John Spray. I'm a developer at Red Hat. And I'm going to talk to you today about how you can use CephFS to create a file system as a service with OpenStack Manila. So I'll start by giving you a brief introduction to Ceph and Manila, although this is not going to be in-depth on either of those topics. It's really about the integration of the two. So how we map the concepts that the Manila API exposes to what CephFS is capable of, the experience of actually implementing that driver and working with the Manila interfaces to do that, then there'll be a tutorial on how you can set it up and use it yourself. And finally, I'll go into some detail about the next steps here, since the driver that we have today is really just a beginning down this path. So CephFS is a distributed POSIX file system. That means you mount it over the network from a client node, and it looks just as if you had a file system mounted locally. So it has all the same POSIX semantics that a local file system would. It sends the data directly to the RADOS cluster in your Ceph cluster. And it sends metadata to Ceph metadata servers, which in turn store that in the RADOS cluster again. So you benefit from all of the same data integrity and resilience that RADOS provides when you're using RBD or RGW. CephFS is part of the upstream Ceph releases. So you probably already have it if you have Ceph installed. If you are using vendor packages, it's possible that they might leave it out if they're not supporting it yet. But if you're working with upstream packages, you probably already have it. You can mount Ceph file systems using the kernel client, which is part of the upstream kernel. You can use the Fuse user space client. And you can also use a library called libcephfs if you need direct access to the file system applications. And finally, the Ceph file system does a little bit more than most file systems. It has directory-based snapshots. And it also has recursive file system statistics so that you don't have to spider directories to get the stats about usage. So in visual form, that's what using CephFS looks like. You have a client at the top, which has a file system mounted. And it's talking directly to the RADOS cluster to store the data for you. If you need more detail about Cephfs, please come to Greg Farnum's presentation, which is in this room on Thursday. And there's also a ton of information online in the form of the official docs at Ceph.com. But if you also just go ahead and Google CephFS, you'll find there are plenty of talks and videos online for you to learn about it. So Manila is the OpenStack shared file system service. Shared file system in this context means a file system that you can mount over the network from more than one guest at the same time, like NFS. That's distinct from situations where you might have a Cinder image with a local file system on that you could only access from one node at a time. Manila exposes an API that tenants applications can use to request some storage, to request that certain network entities are authorized to access the storage, and then to manage the lifecycle of the storage, including providing quotas to deal with the multi-tenancy aspects of having many applications deal with a fixed pool of storage. Manila maps those operations to different back ends, depending on what you're using. So you might have a software-defined storage solution. You might have a physical hardware appliance. And those modules in Manila are called drivers. Most of the existing drivers are talking to proprietary storage systems, but there are a few existing open-source ones already, especially GlusterFS, the new CephFS driver, and the so-called generic driver, which exposes NFS shares based on Cinder volumes. So the usage of Manila looks something like this. The tenant is in the top left. He sends off an API request to Manila, saying, I would like some file system storage. Manila picks the proper driver to send that request on to some back end. The back end assigns the storage, and the address that the client can use to mount the storage gets passed all the way back up to the tenant. Once that's happened, the tenant can pass that address into a guest virtual machine, which can in turn mount the file system. So the point that the file system is mounted, nothing's flowing through Manila anymore. Manila is a control plane, and the data goes directly from your guest VMs to whatever back end you're using. So why do we want to put these two things together? Well, our favorite graph from the OpenStack survey that has Ceph being used in the majority of clusters means that if you're looking for a Manila back end, the chances are you already have Ceph storage that you would like to use with Manila so that you don't have to deploy another system, another set of disks. It's also pretty useful that you can have an open source back end for your open source cloud. You don't have to worry about buying some separate pieces of hardware from some storage specialized vendor in order to prototype and build out your clouds. You can start with all free, all open source software. That's also really useful if you're a tester or a developer and you want to hack on Manila. You need a back end that you can just install yourself in use. And at the highest level, why do we want to do any of this at all? Why do we want shared file systems at all? Well, because applications want them. There are a lot of applications out there that weren't necessarily built for the cloud. And some applications which are built for the cloud but find that the file system is a more appropriate model than object storage or block storage. So all of this is ultimately about enabling your users to run their applications on your clouds. So the unit of storage that Manila works with is called a share. And it's worth specifying exactly what they mean by that. So Manila combines the allocation of storage with the act of sharing it over the network. If you were using a normal Linux server, then you would separately create a file system on a disk and then configure your NFS daemon to export it to a particular place. There's a really two separate concepts. But in Manila, they are combined. And once you've exported that using Manila, that forms an independent namespace. So you can't move files between Manila shares. They are individual atomic namespaces. Manila also expects that shares should be limited in size. That's a little bit of a perhaps a hangover from the days when you were dealing with hardware storage controllers, where you really would be carving something out of a lun. So we have to do a certain amount of work to enforce the size limit, whereas, I guess, for other people, it's just intrinsic. So this doesn't exist as a concept built into Ceph. But we can take the primitives that Ceph FS gives us and use it to compose something which acts the way Manila expects it to. So the way we do that is we start with a directory. We can use the layouts that Ceph FS has for controlling where data goes in directories. We can use that to send the data in one of these shared directories to a particular rados pool or rados namespace. And that gives us our isolation between tenants so that one tenant can't reach into the rados pool that another tenant is using or the rados namespace that another tenant is using and go and touch his data. The reason that that's necessary is if you recall that Ceph clients natively write directly to the rados cluster. So if you had two clients, you have to make sure that they can't write directly to each other's rados stored data. We use Ceph FS file system quotas to enforce a limit on the size. And we also use Ceph's built-in authentication system to restrict what metadata clients can access. So rather than relying on clients being well behaved and only mounting the directory that we would like them to use as their share, we have authentication on the back end that enforces that. Those ways of implementing a share map directly to Ceph FS features, some of which already existed and some of which were put in place or refined to deal with this. So the ability to limit clients by path is a fairly new thing that I think was in the infamous release of Ceph. Historically, clients could always change their layouts. If you tried to limit them to a pool, they could always just point themselves to a different pool. So we fixed that, and there was a new letter on the end of your MDS capabilities that you would need to have to set the pool on a layout. We took the DF command, the Ceph FS system call that fulfills that, and rewired it slightly so that instead of giving you the overall usage of your Ceph file system, what it does is look at the quota and the recursive statistics on the directory that you have mounted as a client and use that to give you a slightly dishonest but more useful indication of how much space you've really got available in that share. And that kind of completes the illusion for the client that they really have a file system to themselves rather than having them realize that really we've just given them a directory. So if you're familiar with administration of Ceph clusters, that's what all this really means materially. So we've got a directory. We've got an auth cap, which gets created for clients who want to access one of these Manila shares. We have a quota, which is set using the usual set FATRA get FATRA interface to the extended attributes that Ceph FS uses to let you set quotas. And then finally, you have a crafted mount command that will use Ceph fuse with a dash dash client mount point option to point it to a particular directory and a dash dash name option that points it to using the specific authentication capabilities that we've crafted to limit it and lock it down into that particular share. So a note about access rules in Manila. So after you've created a share in Manila, you can't actually do anything with it until you've created some rules to permit clients access to it. In most of the existing Manila drivers, those rules refer to IP addresses. So you give it an IP subnet that should have access to it. Using IPs for authentication is not actually as scary as it sounds, because those other drivers in Manila also use network virtualization to restrict clients to only permit access to clients that have been added to a particular network in Neutron. But nevertheless, from Manila's point of view, it's IP addresses that you're authorizing. Whereas in the Ceph driver, we're authorizing user accounts, so not a networking concept, but an ID that lives within Ceph. There was a recent change to Manila right at the end of the Metaka cycle that changed the way we were expected to handle updates to rules. And that meant that we have a little bit of work to do to map their model to our model, because Manila expects that you have a share and a list of rules for the share. Whereas in Ceph, we have a list of identities, and each identity has access to some shares. So if you like, it's indexed the other way around. At the moment, when we're updating things, we're updating the authentication rules in Ceph based on requests from Manila directly into the list of Ceph identities. We don't have that backwards look up to say exactly which rules apply to which shares when we want to look up by share. So we need to add an index there. This really belongs in the future work section, but it's worth calling out as an example of where the Manila model of the world isn't really as general as you might expect. It turns out not to map quite so well to some systems as it does to others. So this work to create this pseudo separate file system within the global Ceph file system is all wrapped up in a new class, which is part of the dual release of Ceph, called CephFS Volume Client. So the motivation here is to allow us to iterate on this and test and release this independently of Manila and hide the Ceph implementation details from Manila. This is very lightweight at the moment. It's really, I think it's less than 1,000 lines of code, but it will grow a little bit in the future as we need to support more Manila features beyond just creating and removing shares and authorizing them and denying them. And that's a diagram of where the separation is between CephFS Volume Client and Manila. It's worth being aware of this because the top half of that is in one Git repository and one projects release cycle, and the bottom half is in a different Git repository and a different projects release cycle. So I'm going to continue talking about some of the practical aspects of writing the driver. You might imagine that this interface for writing these modules for Manila would be something quite stable and well-defined. It's not really as stable as we would have liked. Throughout the Metacor cycle, there were a series of changes to the interface, which we had to roll with. And I shouldn't throw stones because I don't document all my own code perfectly, but the documentation for the driver interface is such that it's necessary to get quite involved in the Manila project, quite involved in the code base to work out exactly what you should be doing and how you should be handling things. Aside from those sort of hygiene issues with the protocol, there's a more fundamental issue, which is that Manila drivers are not able to define their own network protocols. So historically, drivers were things that let you talk to an NFS filer or a storage appliance. And they typically implement NFS or possibly SIFs, if you're lucky. So Manila has hard-coded the list of network protocols. With open-source file systems, it's not the case. CepFS has its own protocol. So does GlusterFS. So does Luster. So does GFS2. So at the moment, when you want to add one of these protocols, you have to actually edit a series of places in the Manila code base. You have to edit the Python client, the UI, the API server, along with writing all the corresponding unit tests for all of these different places, for something that ideally you would really be able to declare from inside your driver. Now that I'm done complaining, I'll move on to the tutorial of how you actually use this. So caveat's up front. You need a Manila version equal to a greater than the attacker. You need Ceph dual or higher. And with both of these things, we're still in the process of smoothing off rough edges. So there will be point releases, and you will want to make sure you've got the most recent ones. The guests that want to access a Ceph file system using the native protocol need access directly to the Ceph cluster. And that's really the biggest caveat right now. And that's what makes me say that this driver is the first step in a series. Most public clouds would not want to do this. Well, actually, I would say all public clouds would not want to do this. You do not want to give untrusted third-party code access to your Ceph network to your storage network. However, if you have certain use cases, you might find this useful. For example, if your virtual machines are somewhat trusted and they're being used as container hosts for untrusted applications within it, and you want something that will give you a file system for your volumes for your containers, so you've got another level on top of it that's going to isolate your applications, you might consider deploying this. So again, because we're using the native protocol, the guests need to have the CephFS client software installed. That's not a fundamental issue, but it's kind of annoying if you've got pre-built images. You need to update them to make sure they've got the client software in. And at the moment, the quota limitations on the size of shares are enforced client site, which means you need to somewhat trust your client. That's really less of an issue than the fact that you need access to the cluster network. So the general sense is whatever's mounting these file systems needs to be something somewhat trusted and not random third-party code. So firstly, you need a CephFS file system. Setting up CephFS is very straightforward. You would use CephDeploy or CephAnsible or whatever the tool of your choice is to create an MDS daemon. And then you need a pool for your data and a pool for your metadata. And finally, register those pools with Ceph for use as a file system with the CephFS new command. Once you've done that, you can start setting up Manila. So the Ceph driver is part of Manila itself, as are all the other drivers. So there's no separate package to install. You'd install your Manila package built from Metakor or more recent. You also need LibRadOS and LibCephFS. Those are the libraries that are going to be used for the driver to talk to the Ceph cluster. And make sure that your Manila server actually has a connection to your Ceph network. That's obviously less of an issue than connecting your guests to it, but it still needs to be the case. The Manila server will also use a Ceph identity of its own. There is a great big command line in the docs for creating that. It's huge because it has a white list of which administrative operations Manila is allowed to do. So we've put that in there so that if there are any sort of unexpected bugs or glitches with Manila, it's not at risk of wiping out other stuff that's going on on your Ceph cluster. And once you're happy that you've gone through this process, run Ceph status with your client.manila key to check that everything's OK. Once that's happened, you can actually load your config into Manila itself. So make sure that key ring that you created is visible somewhere that the Manila service will be able to access it. The default location is best so that you don't have to explicitly configure that. And then you need to add a stanza like this to your Manila config file. So we're telling it the shareback end name is Cephfs1. Here's the path to the Python module that we want to use. That's the path to the Cephfs driver. And there is the config file that belongs to Ceph. And that's going to tell the Liberados and LibCephfs instances that we have everything they need to know about how to connect to Ceph. You also need to create a share type for Cephfs. Share types are a Manila concept. Once you've got Manila up and running, you can go ahead and create a share. There's probably some restarting of services that needed to happen in between here. But that's going to depend on what packages you're using and how you're doing all of that. So when we create a share, we refer to the share type that we created earlier. We gave the share a name. And the Cephfs before the one is where we're telling it to actually use the Cephfs back end. Actually, I think that should be the name of the back end from the previous slide. But no one picked me up on that when I presented this at Vault last week. So I'll go away with it. I'm creating a 1 gigabyte share here, which isn't terribly useful. And then as I said, you can't do anything with a share until you've authorized someone to access it. So here we're going to call manila access allow for a user called Alice. What the driver is going to do on our behalf here is go and talk to Ceph, create an ID and a key for a user called Alice, and give Alice the auth caps that she needs to access the share that we just created, or specifically to access the directory that we created to embody the share that was requested by the user. And then finally, all of that stuff gets passed through into a Cephfs command that picks up that user, picks up the auth caps that we created for it, and creates a mount point that will treat the directory that we created as its root. If you want to go a little bit further, one of the interesting things you can do at the moment with Manila is have multiple back ends on one server. And that includes having multiple Cephfs back ends. So for example, you might choose to have two different back ends that were using a different root directory for creating their volumes in. So if you do that, then you could have a different root directory that had a different layout that pointed to a different OSD pool. And that way, you'd have a back end that went to one OSD pool and back end that went to another OSD pool. In dual, we also added the experimental ability to create more than one file system within a Ceph cluster. And these separate file systems would use separate MDS instances. So if you wanted to, say, put some more sensitive work latency sensitive workloads on a less loaded MDS and some more bulk workloads on some other MDS, you could achieve that today by creating multiple back ends and giving each back end a different Ceph.conf that had a different set of settings for which file system to use on the back end. Now I'm going to move on to what for some people is the interesting part, which is how do we go from this initial Ceph.conf native driver, which comes with a long list of caveats, to something that is suitable for deploying clouds with a shared file system service that can be used by your third party guests, your third party tenants. So the obvious thing to do is to put some NFS between Ceph and the guests. And the NFS servers would create a bridge between your storage network where your Ceph cluster lives and whatever network it is you want to use for the guests to access this. So you would have some other network that you've created using your virtualized networking, create a new virtual machine which will act as an NFS server, connect it to the network you just created, create your guest to the network you just created, and then you would have guests that could access a Ceph.conf file system without needing access to the storage network. So this isn't necessarily a bad idea. It's not as simple as it first sounds. So if you want the level of high availability or the level of performance that you've come to expect from a Ceph cluster, you can't just spin up one virtual machine. You need to spin up multiple virtual machines. You need to handle a case where one goes down and you need to create a new one. And this is tractable, but somebody needs to come along and actually do the work to make it happen. And it's, even if you go to the trouble of doing all that work, as you can see, you still have this extra hop. It's an extra failure domain. It's an extra piece of latency. It's just all around kind of suboptimal. The, perhaps slightly farther out but ultimately preferable way of doing this is what some people call hypervisor mediated access to shares. So this is a little bit like what we currently do for RBD and Cinder, where the hypervisor machines have access to the storage network. And they handle the challenge of controlling what the guests can see and exposing it up into the guest. So the guests no longer need to connect over an IP network to anything. They no longer need to know about a remote network or a remote address they need to talk to. They just communicate somehow with their hypervisor to say I would like my file system, whatever that may be, and all of that potentially security sensitive work of working out which file system that isn't exposing it happens on the hypervisor. So it's very good for security. And it's also great for simplicity because you don't need a cluster of anything between you and your guests. And you don't need any extra virtualized networking configuration between your storage and your guests. So the question at the moment is what should coordinate all of this and what should that last link between the guest and the hypervisor be? So in this diagram, it says NFS over VSOC. And that's our preferred approach. So in Tokyo, Sage went through in his presentation a number of different options for this. And at the moment, this is what we're favoring. So the idea is to take the existing NFS client, which exists in the Linux kernel, existing CephFS NFS server implementation that we have in the form of NFS connection, or indeed the kernel NFS daemon, and expose it to guests using this new piece of functionality which we're hoping to see land in the upstream Linux kernel soon called VSOC, which gives us a guest to host network socket with no IP networking involved. If we can adopt VSOC, then it saves us the effort of maintaining any special code inside the guest for dealing with file systems. You have this little special piece of code for dealing with VSOC, but just the networking part, no extra file system. So we avoid the need to, for example, maintain the 9p protocol and NFS at the same time. We avoid the need to maintain something special for exposing the file system into the guests because we can just use NFS ganache, which would be the same piece of software that we would use if we were running a remote NFS daemon. So if you're interested in learning more about that, there are some prior presentations that are online at the moment, both Sages and also Stephans, who is the engineer working on getting this upstream into the Linux kernel. Once you have this path between your hypervisor and your guest, you need something to coordinate it. So initially, you might wonder, well, should that be Manila, or should that be Nova, or should it be something else? And after some sort of discussion, we're very much of the opinion that it should be Nova because Nova is the component that knows about the hypervisors. It knows where guests are running. It knows when they're getting migrated. And of course, there is prior art for this in the form of what's currently done for Cinder with the Nova integration and the concept of an attachment of a volume to a virtual machine. So there's this new concept needed in Nova called a share attachment. And attachments need to know, how should they expose the file system into a guest? Because NFS Vsoc is only one option. You do also have Libvert 9p and potentially other protocols and options in future. You could, for example, you could do lots of things. If you're feeling crazy, you could create an IP network between the host and the guest and run sifts over it if you wanted to. That might not be crazy if you had Windows guests. So it's important that this is flexible enough to do that. And then also, how does the storage get from the storage cluster to the hypervisor to begin with? So we're talking about having an NFS team that consumes CephFS on the hypervisor. But you might equally want to use this same mechanism for doing hypervisor mediated access to some other storage backend. If you are still using a device that just supports NFS and you're happy with that and you want to run NFS to your hypervisor and then some other protocol from the hypervisor into the guest, this mechanism should be flexible enough to deal with that. And there's a spec online that the engineers from eBay are working on at the moment right now. Finally, once you've got your sort of high level ideas and concepts in Nova of how to make this link and expose things into the guest, there is some plumbing that needs to be done specifically for the VSOC case. So VSOC has host local addresses. Each guest gets an address called a CID. Those get assigned at instant startup. So something needs to assign the addresses and write them into the domain XML if you are using queuing UKVM. Ganesha needs to know how to authenticate based on those things. And Libvert needs to know how to map those things from the XML into the command line for queuing you. Neither of those things, none of those things is independently particularly complicated, but it's to give you an idea of the amount of little pieces of plumbing that are gonna be involved in making this a reality. That's my preemptive excuse for it taking a long time. There are some more short-term actions that we need to take with Seth and Manila. So some of the stuff I've talked about today didn't quite make the cut for dual, and so there's stuff that's landing at the moment that's gonna get backported. The driver does work today, but things like the DF basing its output on quotas, we need to make sure we backport all the right stuff. I wanna make sure I have time for questions, so I'm gonna skip past that. Currently, the driver has a concept of data isolation where you can pass an option into share creation and it'll create you a separate CEPFS pool for that. It would also be possible to extend that to metadata isolation, so this is similar to what I was talking about earlier with having multiple backends that used a different file system, but would be able to do it within a single backend and have it set on a share-by-share basis to say this share for this tenant should use a different file system without having to have multiple backends. It would also be possible to orchestrate the creation of virtual machines that would act as MDSs. So once if you got to the position where you had lots of shares that all wanted independent MDSs, obviously you wouldn't wanna do that on your general hardware storage backend because you wouldn't know in advance how many MDSs you'd need, so you could, it would be interesting to try virtualizing this. Finally, this is the beginning of a series of stages that are possible with CEPFS and Manila. So the native driver, not suitable for most public cloud use cases today, but the code that we've written for it would be the basis for any of these subsequent pieces of work, whether it's NFS in virtual machines or hypervisor mediated access or whatever the community is ready and enthusiastic about working on. And I like to end with the links to the mailing list and the bug tracker and that kind of thing. So if you do try out any of this, please come back to us and talk to us and submit bugs especially. Thanks very much. Okay, question? How are you going to handle NFS logs in this configuration with NFS per virtual machine? If two virtual machines on different hypervisor success, same file and using logs, especially in case of CEPFS for Windows or anything else, how are you going to handle logs? Thank you. The same way that we do in any other clustered NFS environment. So the NFS demons running on the hypervisors become a sort of implicit cluster. In the way that NFS Ganesha works on top of CEPFS, they can store enough of what they need to do to do the NFS layer coordination inside CEPFS. So each one individually is talking down into CEPFS to store whatever it needs to store and then the demons running on different hypervisors will be able to see each other's state. And that's exactly the same way it would work if you were deploying a cluster of virtual machines running NFS demons. Yes? You mentioned that the guests need to respect the quota. Is that correct? Yeah. You mean that when you create a share on CEPFS that it's like five gigabytes, the user may be able to write more than that? Yeah, so because in the native protocol, clients are somewhat trusted. This is one of them, you know, the big motivations for later having NFS on top of it. If you today, if you recompiled your CEPFS client to ignore the quota, then you could do so. Similarly today, if you recompiled your CEPFS client to take a lock and never give it up and bring the rest of the system to a halt, you could also do that because the nature of the native CEPFS protocol is that clients are somewhat trusted. I see that then you cannot implement, like prevent the user from writing any other thing like surpassing the quota. It would be possible to enhance CEPFS to enforce quotas on the server side, but that's not in progress at the moment. Okay. And I think I saw written create from snapshot read only. Is that like intended or you cannot do writable? So snapshots in CEPFS are read only. The issue that comes up with Manila is that the way that Manila wants to provide users with access to a snapshot is to allow them to clone from it. Whereas in CEPFS, we expect that someone creates a snapshot and then we expose it in a directory called dotSnap and they can just go look at it. There's no need to clone something else to go and look at it. But Manila doesn't currently have the concept of a read only share. So when they do clone from snapshot, if we wanted to implement that so that it just pointed to one of our snapshots, we would be giving them a share that looked like it should be writable but really wouldn't be. So the solution to that is to give Manila the ability to have read only shares so that we can do a nice efficient implementation of clone from snapshot with the caveat that it's read only. And I think for many users that's acceptable because snapshots in a file system context are usually used for backup rather than snapshots in a block device context where they're used for creating guests. There are ongoing discussions of alternate snapshot semantics. Would you be more interested in other approaches instead of that one if there is in fact a semantic for exportable snapshots? Yeah, so there were discussions in Tokyo about the snapshot semantics and it could be that that will supersede the need for a read only share concept. If the snapshot semantics can express what we want to do, then that could also work, yeah. Okay, thank you. Yep. As far as I've kind of mentioned, three things that typically take a relatively long time to trickle into a distro that knows very few set developers and very few open stack developers actually have any control over that's VSOC in the kernel that is whatever you need in Libret and that is NFS Ganesha packaging. So the Ganesha... Neither of which currently exists in many distros. Do we have even an educated guest for an ETA? No. Okay. At least not in this forum but the Ganesha changes have already landed in Ganesha. So there is at least one of those, one of that list that is already somewhat further along. It was on the list, but anyway. Well, the kernel part is the biggest one and it's, but it's also the part that it's most important to get right before landing it, because once it's in there, it's gonna be in there forever. So we'll have to wait and see, but hopefully soon. Okay, thanks. Yes? In your example and how to set this up using the existing driver, you demonstrate that you need to create an access key for the client VM to access the CFFS share, quote, quote share. How do we get the key into the VM? Is there an automatic way of doing that? Right, that's a caveat that I should have covered. So one of the things that we want to add in Newton to Manila is the ability to have it return the keys from a share. Currently, if you create a new identity in the process of authorizing someone, so if the thing you authorize is a user that didn't already exist, you would also have to ask your friendly local Cep admin to go and use his command line tool to get the key for you. So that's one workaround. The other workaround for that issue is at installation time, you can pre-create identities. As a Cep admin, you can pre-create identities for your tenants and then instruct your tenants to authorize their shares for those identities that they would already have the keys to. But historically, Manila was based on the idea that the things we were authorizing, things like IP addresses, were external entities that already existed. So Cep is new and different in that the things that we're authorizing are getting created on demand and so we need Manila to be able to pass back the keys for us. Okay, thank you very much.
