+ / / tl;dr - I did another round of drive testing (originally I only tested OpenEBS and hostPath), this time with some rented Hetzner machines and Ansible-powered automation. The GitLab repository isn’t ready for mass consumption yet but I’ll update here (and this tl;dr) when it is, along with the results. UPDATE (04/09/2020) The GitLab repository is up!

+ / / tl;dr - Finally, the results of the benchmarking. You can find the code on GitLab. There are some issues with the benchmarks but there was enough decent data to make a decision for me at least. As far as which storage plugins I’m going to run, I’m actually going to run both OpenEBS Mayastor and Ceph via Rook on LVM. I look forward to emails from users/corporations/devrel letting me know how I misused their products if I did – please file an issue on GitLab!| vadosware.io
