Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on optimizing a Kubernetes cluster that runs stateful applications, and I’m exploring how to best leverage Portworx for high availability and data resilience. I have a few questions about best practices when managing stateful workloads at scale.
- Storage Class Configuration: What are the key considerations when setting up storage classes for different workload types? Are there any recommended defaults for databases like PostgreSQL or MySQL?
- Replication and Disaster Recovery: I understand Portworx provides volume replication, but I’d love to hear from others about their experiences configuring it for production. How do you balance replication factor settings to optimize performance without adding unnecessary overhead?
- Multi-Cloud or Hybrid Deployments: Has anyone successfully deployed Portworx across multiple cloud environments or a hybrid setup? What challenges did you face, and how did you overcome them?
- Backup and Restore Strategies: What tools or workflows do you rely on for backing up and restoring Portworx volumes efficiently? Any recommendations on frequency and automation?
- Performance Tuning: Are there any lesser-known tweaks or configurations that have significantly improved storage performance in your deployments?
I’d really appreciate any insights, especially from those running mission-critical workloads on Portworx. Looking forward to hearing about your experiences and any lessons learned!
