How is that different from how cores, mem and network bandwidth is allotted to tenants?
- pixl97 3y agoBecause a fair number of customers spin up another image when cores/mem/bandwidth run low. Dedicated storage breaks that paradigm. Also, adding, if I am on an 8 core machine and need 16, network storage can be detached from host A and connected to host B. In dedicated storage it must be fully copied over first.
- baq 3y agoIt isn't. You could ask for network-attached CPUs or RAM. You'd be the only one, though, so in practice only network-attached storage makes sense business-wise. It also makes sense if you need to provision larger-than-usual amounts like tens of TB - these are usually hard to come by in a single server, but quite mundane for storage appliances.
