Standard Configuration with Dedicated Storage
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
Deployment of |prod| with dedicated storage nodes provides the highest capacity
|
|
\(single region\), performance, and scalability.

See :ref:`Common Components <common-components>` for a description of common
|
|
components of this deployment configuration.
|
|
|
|
The differentiating physical feature of this model is that the controller,
|
|
storage, and worker functionalities are deployed on separate physical hosts
|
|
allowing controller nodes, storage nodes, and worker nodes to scale
|
|
independently from each other.
|
|
|
|
The controller nodes provide the control-plane function for the
|
|
system. Two controller nodes are required to provide redundancy. The controller
|
|
nodes' server and peripheral resources such as CPU cores/speed, memory,
|
|
storage, and network interfaces can be scaled to meet requirements.
|
|
|
|
Storage nodes provide a large scale Ceph cluster for the storage backend for
|
|
Kubernetes |PVCs|. They are deployed in replication groups of either two or
|
|
three for redundancy. For a system configured to use two storage hosts per
|
|
replication group, a maximum of eight storage hosts \(four replication groups\)
|
|
are supported. For a system with three storage hosts per replication group, up
|
|
to nine storage hosts \(three replication groups\) are supported. The system
|
|
provides redundancy and scalability through the number of Ceph |OSDs| installed
|
|
in a storage node group, with more |OSDs| providing more capacity and better
|
|
storage performance. The scalability and performance of the storage function is
|
|
affected by the |OSD| size and speed, optional |SSD| or |NVMe| Ceph journals,
|
|
CPU cores and speeds, memory, disk controllers, and networking. |OSDs| can be
|
|
grouped into storage tiers according to their performance characteristics.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, instead of configuring Storage Nodes, you can configure an
|
|
external Netapp Trident storage backend.

|
On worker nodes, the primary disk is used for system requirements and for
|
|
container local ephemeral storage.
