Does LINBIT SDS provide the ability to thin provision storage space?
Yes, LINBIT SDS (LINSTOR) supports thin and thick provisioned storage-pools/storageClasses.
Does LINBIT SDS have the ability to backup container data, either natively or through a third-party application, for operational recovery?
Yes. Trilio, Bacula, Kasten, and Velero have been tested, but any CSI compliant backup solution should work since LINBIT SDS (LINSTOR) is also CSI compliant.
Can LINBIT SDS replicate storage to a remote datacenter (async)?
Yes, using another LINBIT product, DRBD Proxy. You will need a license, please contact sales for assistance.
Does LINBIT SDS have the ability to present different performing storage as Kubernetes Storage Classes?
Yes. LINBIT SDS (LINSTOR) has the concept of storage-pools, which are intended to group like storage. These storage-pools are then defined in storage Classes, so users can choose storage based on their application’s performance requirements.
Does LINBIT SDS have the ability to make a storage-based clone copy of the persistent storage presented to a host?
Yes, LINBIT SDS (LINSTOR) supports creating new volumes from snapshots of existing volumes.
Does LINBIT SDS have the ability to do storage-based snapshots for operational recovery?
Yes. Snapshots are supported with thin provisioned LINBIT SDS (LINSTOR) storage-pools.
Does LINBIT SDS support CSI (Container Storage Interface)?
Yes, LINBIT SDS (LINSTOR) is fully compliant with CSI standards.
Can LINBIT SDS dynamically resize Persistent Storage?
Yes.
Can LINBIT SDS use Persistent Storage across all AWS Availability Zones?
LINBIT SDS (LINSTOR) can replicate persistent volumes across all availability zones (AZ) in any region. LINBIT SDS (LINSTOR) provisions RWO volumes, so they may only be accessed in one AZ at a time. However, data is available if cross AZ rescheduling occurs.
Can LINBIT SDS provide sharable storage to multiple containers of a K8 pod?
Yes. Multi-container pods generally have the ability to do this with their persistent volumes; LINBIT SDS is no different.
