Yup it's ironic however how in the end you have to manage that stuff yourself anyway.

- tetha 6y agoIt depends how the vendor presents and handles it. I'm not aware how RS promises look. However, for example, the hetzner cloud has an explicit choice between triple-redundant ceph-based storage for VMs, or hypervisor local SSD storage. That's good and explicit. I can make an informed choice about speed or durability.
- justinclift 6y ago> triple-redundant ceph-based storage Just to point out, that's still not a backup system. That's only one software bug (in your systems or theirs) away from having no working current data set. ;)
- tetha 6y agoYes, I did not mean to imply it is a backup. You still need backups. However, that redundant storage takes care of .. well redundancy, if you need it. Storage with zero redundancy on the drive or the service level (think of ES) is stressful to say the least.
