Can LINBIT SDS support cross-regional recovery of K8 workload (application pod restart after unexpected outage)?
Licensed DRBD Proxy is needed. LINBIT SDS’ Stork integration and HA Controller (optional components enabled at helm install) enables this, even for statefulSets.
Can LINBIT SDS support cross-regional relocation of K8 workload (application pod restart after proper application shutdown)?
Yes, you will need another LINBIT product, DRBD Proxy. LINBIT SDS’ Stork integration and HA Controller (optional components enabled at helm install) enables this, even for statefulSets. Please contact sales for further assistance with obtaining a DRBD Proxy license.
Can LINBIT SDS support asynchronous data replication across regions (dissimilar underlying storage technology assumed)?
Yes, cross region asynchronous replication requires another LINBIT product, DRBD Proxy. You will need a license, please contact sales for further assistance.
Can LINBIT SDS support K8 operations with “local read” within geo close locations (Availability Zone)?
Yes. LINBIT SDS enables read-balancing, a DRBD option, by default. It also supports placing workloads on the same physical host as a replica of its storage in hyper converged clusters (through Stork integration).
Can LINBIT SDS support synchronous data replication/data distribution within geo close locations (Availability Zone)?
Yes. Synchronous replication is the default mode for LINBIT SDS. Alternatively, asynchronous replication can be enabled.
Can LINBIT SDS be deployed in multiple customer data centers?
Yes. There is no limit to how many data centers LINBIT SDS can be deployed to.
Can LINBIT SDS be deployed in any data center?
It can be deployed via Helm in any private/public DC with connectivity to LINBIT’s Docker registry (drbd.io). Without internet access, images can be pulled into a local registry, and specified in the helm values.
What is LINBIT SDS?
LINBIT SDS consists of DRBD, LINSTOR, Enterprise support, and optionally DRBD Proxy for long-distance asynchronous replication. DRBD handles the data replication, LINSTOR provides storage orchestration.
What type of transport protocols does LINSTOR support?
LINSTOR supports, ISCSI, NFS, NVMeOF, and DRBD Diskless.
What is High Availability?
High availability (HA) is the ability of a system to operate continuously without failing for a designated period of time. DRBD is the defacto for the HA in the LINUX infrastructures.
