Challenges and pain points
- Traditional file systems are poorly adapted to Kubernetes, it will incur additional cost to interface these file systems on container platforms;
- The Kubernetes container platform needs shared storage that supports ReadWriteMany to ensure simultaneous reading and writing of multiple pods for data sharing among different applications;
- During the startup process of the application container, a large number of external dependencies may need to be downloaded at the same time, and it is necessary to provide stable and efficient data access capabilities;
Why JuiceFS
- JuiceFS is Kubernetes eco-friendly by providing Kubernetes CSI Driver to support accessing data through PersistentVolumeClaim, the Kubernetes-native storage solution;
- The Volume of JuiceFS supports ReadWriteMany and ReadOnlyMany modes to meet the access requirements of different types of applications;
- JuiceFS supports simultaneous mounting and concurrent reading and writing of thousands of clients, and supports the usage scenarios of large-scale applications of the Kubernetes container platform;
- JuiceFS CSI Driver supports automatic recovery of mount point failures to ensure the availability of data accessed by application containers;
