Exploring Kubernetes Storage with OpenEBS and ZFS

Welcome to Episode 3 of the Optimizing Databases on Kubernetes series! In this episode, Jérôme Petazzoni highlights the power of ZFS as a storage solution for Kubernetes, showcasing its features like compression, deduplication, and snapshots, and how it integrates with OpenEBS LocalPV to provision Kubernetes volumes efficiently.

The episode demonstrates the automated setup of ZFS on Kubernetes nodes using DaemonSets, making it easier to deploy ZFS across the cluster. Jérôme also compares ZFS with other storage classes, such as cloud-based block storage and Rancher Local Path, emphasizing its flexibility and potential for improving database performance in containerized environments.

This episode equips you with the tools and techniques to enhance your Kubernetes storage capabilities, ensuring scalable and reliable infrastructure for database workloads.

Things You Will Learn in This Episode:

- Introducing ZFS: Leveraging advanced file system features like snapshots and compression.
- Automated ZFS Deployment: Setting up ZFS on Kubernetes nodes using DaemonSets.
- Storage Class Comparison: Evaluating ZFS alongside cloud block storage and local path provisioners.
