Description
Choices in Volume Type in cloud.rc:
cinder-ceph-canonical-rerefor REplication- triple-replication
- each byte of data consumes three bytes of storage
cinder-ceph-canonical-ececfor Erasure Coding- every three bytes of data consumes four bytes of storage (25% overhead)
- one byte is the erasure encoding
- slightly less performant than
redue to calculation of encoding
Add this to:
- details on https://docs.rc.uab.edu/uab_cloud/tutorial/volumes/
- brief note on https://docs.rc.uab.edu/uab_cloud/tutorial/instances/
- for the future, consider separating tutorial from more detailed pages
