I'm not sure what is announced here. Gluster FS is for few years already (version 3.6 now), while the article doesn't mention that there is started any managed service based on it. It is more like reminder that you can set up distributed file system on your cloud servers using Gluster. Not even any step-by-step tutorial how to do that.
- baldfat 11y ago> Google Cloud Platform and Red Hat are proud to announce the availability of Red Hat Gluster Storage on Google Compute Engine. Gluster is available not announcing that this is a new technology.
- prohor 11y agoHow this availability will be implemented then? I can install it now, so it is already available for me. Will they provide a service like Amazon Elastic File System? Or there will be some pre-configured images?
- bonzini 11y agoOn AWS you get pre-configured AMIs, I suppose it's similar.
- ssmoot 11y agoNot sure what you're saying?
- profmonocle 11y agoThat's what I find confusing. Was it not available before now? Couldn't you just spin up some Red Hat instances and run it? It's not clear what's actually being announced - it doesn't sound like a managed service.
- dragonwriter 11y ago> I'm not sure what is announced here. I think, though I'm not sure, that its an official, active support relationship between Google and Red Hat for GlusterFS on GCE, related to Red Hat's vendor certification programs. If so, this seems like the kind of thing that has the most impact on people with support contracts with Red Hat, but should also have peripheral impacts on the stability, quality of support, etc., of the product on the GCE platform generally.
