Storage Architecture for OpenStack (OSSA)
OpenStack has catalyzed the development of Software-Defined Storage (SDS), and most IT shops are just starting to understand how SDS fits into their architecture. In this half-day, hands-on module, we’ll take a look at some critical architectural decisions you’ll need to make about your storage architecture, including block vs object-based storage, how to choose a file system and key questions about high availability and scaling.
