I’m looking for storage classes for a multi node cluster. I’m currently using Longhorn and NFS, but I’m not happy with the performance. My cluster doesn’t have beefy nodes, so Ceph/Rook is out of the question (for now).
Nodes:
- 8 GB RAM, 4 cores VM, control plane. 256 GB SSD
- 4 GB RAM, 2 cores, control plane, currently cordoned. 128 GB SSD
- 8 GB RAM, 4 cores, ARM, control plane. 512 GB SSD
- 8 GB RAM, 4 cores. 256 GB SSD
- 16 GB RAM, 6 cores. 256 GB SSD + 1 TB HD
- RPi 4, 4 GB RAM. 128 GB SSD


Has anyone tried this https://github.com/awslabs/mountpoint-s3-csi-driver?
Perhaps with a Garage DaemonSet as a backend?
I’d expect the performance to be awful but it still has relatively niche usecases, especially where performance isn’t a concern. I’m imagining legacy apps that don’t speak S3.
Thanks for the feedback! So not what I’m looking for
