Software Defined Storage
SMB3 Overboard
An Offload Engine for NASty Networks
Data Processing Units (DPUs) and SmartNICs--these things are getting a lot of attention, particularly in the network storage world. There's a bit of history behind them, particularly if you consider TCP Offload Engine (TOE) cards and iSCSI NICs, both of which have been around for quite a while. This latest wave, however, is more general-purpose by design and presents an opportunity for developers like us.
DPUs are typically, but not necessarily, built around ARM cores. They are the engines that power the current cavalcade of SmartNICs, and are also being integrated into server-class mainboards. In any case, they are going to be a feature of the next generation of storage platforms, application servers, and cloud infrastructure systems. This talk centers around work to implement NAS Offload, particularly SMB3, for SmartNICs. We'll expand from there to discuss how NAS Offload can be leveraged for Software Defined NAS services, and will also consider what DPUs might mean for distributed object storage. The doors are wide open to Open Source development community, and this is an opportunity we cannot afford to miss.

There are a number of available tools and approaches for benchmarking S3 performance in Ceph. Benchmarking reliably and sensibly gets more challenging as you scale out storage clusters, gateways, and benchmarking drivers. In this talk I’ll go over some of the benchmarking tools we’ve used in recent months, talk about our focus around COSBench, and some of the approaches and steps we took to improve the state of COSBench for Ceph benchmarking, both in COSBench itself and with helper tools.

What's new in Ceph RGW Ceph is an open source, highly scalable, software defined storage that provides object, file and block interfaces under a unified system. Ceph Object Storage Gateway (RGW) provides a RESTful object storage interface to the Ceph Storage cluster. It provides an interface that is compatible with a large subset of AWS S3 APIs. In this talk we will discuss the upcoming features in ‘Pacific’ release and beyond. The list of features are: S3select Lua scripting Encryption - ...

LINSTOR enables the automation of the deployment of block storage that is replicated over multiple storage nodes and can act as a software defined storage provider for various container and virtualization platforms, such as Kubernetes, OpenStack, OpenNebula and Proxmox. It also includes additional storage features, such as the automation of storage encryption, deduplication or the automatic creation of file systems on new block storage volumes.

Kubernetes graduated Container Storage Interface (CSI) to GA status in v1.13. Since CSI’s origin, it has evolved to support a large number of vendors and storage formats. It has brought the industry together in consensus about the best practices in storage. However, CSI’s major limitation is that it only supports Block and File storage. The rapid growth of Object storage means that a growing share of the ecosystem is currently using ad-hoc solutions to leverage this new technology. Object ...
