You could use multiple network interfaces, one for storage, the other for the rest.
Not sure if this is in a datacenter or not. In a datacenter, you could use something like 3-PAR to have network attached storage.
But storage is hard. This is one of the advantages of using cloud providers, they have this part figured out for you. AWS's EBS volumes are network-attached storage.
Then there's another layer of abstraction when you are using containers. Ok, so you have this volume accessible from the network now, in whatever form. How do you attach it to running containers? That's what this article is about, mostly. Not with the underlying storage mechanisms.
- ohiovr 8y agoI am Leary of Amazon because of the potential for sudden ruinous expenses. I looked over digital ocean and they say they are working on kubernetes but I don’t see how block storage is going to make it work. I’m just developing this on my home server for now. I’m just trying to learn the basics. Seems like cluster computing isn’t something that can be roll your own like ordinary docker can be. Thanks for the lead though.
