I'm always in awe and grateful for the teams like CoreOS that tackle these tough problems.
But when it comes to container storage I'm confused.
The 12 factor app methodologies work very well for every service I have written and supported.
Processes/containers get ephemeral storage. When you need persistence you delegate to a stateful service, generally Postgres and S3.
Id much rather write my apps around these simple and well understood constraints then depend on magic file systems.
- ecnahc515 10y agoThe average 12 factor app doesn't really need this, but as you mentioned, sometimes you delegate to Postgres, or S3, and today those are available as hosted products via Amazon, Google, Heroku, etc. However, when your running in your own datacenter, you don't have the luxury of using Amazon's hosted products, so Torus exists to help provide some building blocks to build your own S3, or potentially even RDS.
