What distributed storage backend does it use if not those two?
- KaiserPro 2y agoCinder, but its more block storage allocation, rather than Large files on a filesystem thats not really a file system, but an object store with a badly designed DB on top, that's always under resourced.
- neverartful 2y agoCinder (from my time with OpenStack) is not a storage backend type, but rather a block storage provisioning API. Has that changed more recently?
- c9lgPZqHNGdC1V1 2y agoOpenStack doesn't really just use 'a' storage backend. You can configure a different backend depending on the service, i.e. point Manila to some proprietary Hitachi technology, point Glance to Ceph or Cinder to any of these https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/2024.1/drivers.html https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/2024.1/drivers.html. Not sure what KaiserPro is going on about, as Ceph is very well supported as a storage backend for pretty much all OpenStack services. Cinder is mostly used for Volume and Snapshot management, interfacing between the front-end/API of OpenStack and whatever backend is set for Cinder, which is hosting the actual volumes and snapshots.
