Storage Wars
summary
Survey of container storage types and practical tradeoffs with concrete recommendations: compares object (MinIO), block (OpenEBS, Longhorn, Linstore) and shared filesystems (NFS, Gluster, Ceph/CephFS); explains interfaces like nvmeoF native support versus legacy iSCSI and why benchmarks mislead. Notes hardware realities—drives fail, storage eats CPU/IO—and operational choices: run Ceph externally for maximum stability, use Rook-packaged Ceph for in-cluster convenience, pick Linstore for flexibility or OpenEBS for raw performance.
