Openly serious about storage
REX-Ray provides visibility and management of external/underlying storage
via guest storage introspection. Available as a Go package, CLI tool, and Linux
service, and with built-in third-party support for tools such as Docker,
REX-Ray is easily integrated into any workflow. For example, here's how to
list storage for a guest hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) with REX-Ray:
$ export REXRAY_STORAGEDRIVERS=ec2
$ export AWS_ACCESSKEY=access_key
$ export AWS_SECRETKEY=secret_key
$ rexray volume get
- providername: ec2
instanceid: i-695bb6ab
volumeid: vol-dedbadc3
devicename: /dev/sda1
region: us-west-1
