[Gluster-users] [Gluster-devel] CFP for Gluster Developer Summit

Tue Aug 16 18:29:42 UTC 2016

Hey All,

Here is my topic to utter at gluster summit

Abstract:

Title: GLUSTER AS BLOCK STORE IN CONTAINERS

As we all know containers are stateless entities which are used to
deploy applications and hence need persistent storage to store
application data for availability across container incarnations.

Persistent storage in containers are of two types, shared and non-shared.

Shared storage:
Consider this as a volume/store where multiple Containers perform both
read and write operations on the same data. Useful for applications
like web servers that need to serve the same data from multiple
container instances.

Non Shared Storage:
Only a single container can perform write operations to this store at
a given time.

This presentation intend to show/discuss how gluster plays a role as a
nonshared block store in containers
Hence it indoctrinate the background to terminology (LIO, iSCSI,
tcmurunner, targetcli) and explains the solution achieving 'Block
store in Containers using gluster' followed by a demo.

Demo will showcase some basic (could be elaborated, based on the
audience) gluster setup, then show nodes initiating the iSCSI session,
attaches iSCSI target as block device and serve it to containers where
the application is running and requires persistent storage.

Will show the working demos about its integration with
* Docker
* Kubernetes
* OpenShift

Intention of this presentation is to get more feedback from people who
use similar solutions and also know  potential risks for better
defence
While discussing TODO's (access locking, encryption, snapshots and
etc.) we could gather some education around.

Cheers,
