It provides discovery of volumes being attached via various transport protocols and handles their removal. The package is part of the OpenStack ecosystem and integrates with Cinder, the block storage service.\n\nThe library depends on a suite of Oslo libraries (oslo.concurrency, oslo.config, oslo.context, oslo.log, oslo.i18n, oslo.privsep, oslo.serialization, oslo.service, oslo.utils) for configuration, logging, and service infrastructure, plus requests, tenacity, and psutil for HTTP communication, retry logic, and system utilities. It requires Python 3.11 or later and is actively maintained for current Python versions.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building or extending OpenStack Cinder deployments or custom storage integrations that require local volume attachment management. Not applicable for standalone use outside OpenStack environments. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive license suitable for enterprise use."},"id":"os-brick","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/os-brick","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/os-brick.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/os-brick/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-19","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"os-brick","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"OpenStack Cinder brick library for managing local volume attaches"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":108322,"position":12562,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"7.1.0"}
