    Dynamically provisioning persistent local storage with Kubernetes

  • For block, I normally go down two roads. The first is Rancher's local path which is basically bind-mounts but presented as PVCs. link This is great for things like DB clusters where you don't have node-level redundancy of the data because the application is taking care of that for you. The second one is Rancher's Longhorn Link which provides iSCSI and NFS storage but from inside the k8s cluster. I personally find the NFS performance is pretty good when it comes to Longhorn because it has been tuned, it's designed to scale out IE each share has its own NFS server and it's written in GO.
