Perfect.
For IBM, I wrote a crypto filesystem that works similarly in concept, except it was a kernel filesystem. We crypto split the blocks up into 4 parts, stored into cache. A background daemon listened to events and sync'ed blocks to S3 orchestrated with a shared journal.
It's pure magic when you mount a filesystem on clean machine and all your data is "just there."
- huntaub 2y ago> It's pure magic when you mount a filesystem on clean machine and all your data is "just there." I totally agree! I am hoping that Regatta can power a future where teams don't need more than ~8 GiB of local storage for their operating system, and can store the rest on something like Regatta to get rid of the waste of overprovisioned block volumes.
- lijok 2y agoThat would sell like hot cakes to the public sector.
- shaklee3 2y agoThe public sector is typically air-gapped, so not really.
- huntaub 2y agoI think it depends which part of the public sector! AWS GovCloud is not airgapped, but I certainly know of deployments which are.
- huntaub 2y agoLet's hope so, I'd love to help teams take storage infrastructure management off of their plate! If you're in the public sector and interested in trying out Regatta, please shoot me an email at hleath [at] regattastorage.com.
