openstack/manila — Week of 2026-08-29

Driver work. The heaviest landing is snapshot support for the HPE Alletra MP driver, adding roughly 3,800 lines of snapshot lifecycle plumbing (992850). NetApp ONTAP gains REST-based consistency-group snapshot lifecycle for share groups, along with a flag to disable ZAPI fallback and a TypeError fix in the encryption key ref compatibility check. Documentation for the Lustre share driver also lands as a fresh 200-line addition.

Threading model. Manila flips to native threading by default, with a companion change guarding WSGIService against the threading backend. The switch shuffles about 180 lines across the service startup path.

API surface. Share replicas now inherit mount_point_name from their parent share, closing a gap where replicas didn't carry the operator-visible mount name.

Maintenance. Configuration reference docs move to auto-generation, deleting roughly 1,900 lines of hand-maintained material, and the codebase adopts the new castellan interface.
