In my opinion, having the additional and error prone work of configuring additional networks, maintain and monitor them outweighs the small benefits. In the past, we saw lots of clusters that had reduced availability due to misconfigured or broken networks. This got so far that we included a network packet loss monitoring into our Ceph management solution to help customers track down their network issues. Therefore choosing a single network strongly increases your reliability and availability of your cluster. -- Martin Verges Managing director Mobile: +49 174 9335695 E-Mail: martin.verges@xxxxxxxx Chat: https://t.me/MartinVerges croit GmbH, Freseniusstr. 31h, 81247 Munich CEO: Martin Verges - VAT-ID: DE310638492 Com. register: Amtsgericht Munich HRB 231263 Web: https://croit.io YouTube: https://goo.gl/PGE1Bx Am Di., 16.
