We’ve launched volumes! And a wicked faster remote builder! You might know about these things already if you check in on our forum occasionally, but if you don’t know … now you know.
Are you using the new nomad csi plugin to attach the volumes on a task or simply host volumes?
We’re using something kind of like host volumes. We wrote a Nomad device plugin to manage LVM devices. It was much simpler than CSI (and we don’t get any value out of pluggable storage, so simple is good).
Must be fun working there. The opportunity to write all types of integration software.
Why LVM devices over having a dedicated storage cluster? Sounds risky to me.
LVM is local (thus low latency), and much simpler than a storage cluster on a network. LVM has it’s quirks though! @kurt has LVM turned out to be a good choice after a couple of years of experience with it?
