Episode notes
Portworx Enables Multi-AZ HA
- Traditional CSI drivers and AWS native storage have challenges, especially for high availability across AZs.
- Portworx, being topology aware, places replicas automatically across AZs to ensure synchronous replication and failover.
Multi-AZ Data Replication Anecdote
- One customer had pods deployed across three AWS AZs and used Rsync to sync data, but it was not scalable at enterprise level.
- Portworx helped by automatically replicating volumes across AZs, providing synchronous multi-AZ availability and failover.
EFS vs Portworx Shared Volumes
- EFS provides shared file system access across AZs but lacks performance for highly demanding applications.
- Portworx supports similar shared volume functionality with better control suited for cloud native environments.
