Hello, We're evaluating OpenShift v3, which uses Docker. The manual recommends using NFS v4 for storage. I would much prefer to use Gluster's native client instead of NFS, mainly because the Gluster client is so easy to use. One of our Redhat SEs says it is probably fine to use Gluster instead of NFS v4 for now until OpenShift gets formal support for Gluster in OpenShift 3.1. I asked him why Gluster wasn't initially supported and he said it probably came down to not having enough time to test thoroughly before OSE's release.
Hi Ryan - I checked internally with the corresponding Red Hat teams and got a similar response. Lack of time is the core reason for going ahead with NFS. You can follow up with your Red Hat representatives to ensure that support for fuse lands in a subsequent OSE release.
Does anyone have any experience with running Docker images with Gluster using the Gluster client? Is it possible that Redhat's recommendation is based on the performance of NFS v4 vs Gluster?
No performance numbers have been gathered with fuse client in OSE and hence the question of comparison does not arise. What applications/workloads do you intend running in OSE?
I can't seem to find anything that says one is faster than the other. Has anyone used Gluster with Docker (which powers OpenShift)?
There have been various write ups on the web about using Gluster and Docker. I would be very interested if someone on this list has direct experience with this combination.
