  Vineyard (v6d) is an in-memory immutable data manager developed under CNCF TAG-Storage.
  It provides efficient zero-copy data sharing across distributed systems for big data
  analytics, machine learning, and data-intensive workflows. Vineyard enables seamless
  object sharing between computation engines through a metadata-payload separation
  architecture, supporting Python, C++, Rust, and Go clients. The Vineyard Operator
  provides Kubernetes-native deployment with CRDs for managing clusters, sidecars,
  backups, and data operations.

    description: >-
      The Vineyard Python client API provides programmatic access to the Vineyard
      in-memory data manager. It supports IPC (UNIX domain socket) and RPC (TCP)
      connections for storing, retrieving, and managing distributed in-memory objects.
      Key operations include put, get, delete, persist, and metadata inspection.

    description: >-
      The Vineyard Kubernetes Operator manages vineyard cluster lifecycle and
      orchestrates shared objects on Kubernetes. It defines CRDs including Vineyardd,
      Sidecar, GlobalObject, LocalObject, Backup, Recover, Operation, and CSIDriver
      for deploying and managing Vineyard in cloud-native environments.
