Mayastor: Lightning Fast Storage for Kubernetes

"For the input you can choose which type of protocol you want through the storage classes. At the output, let's say, you can do iSCSI, NVMe, and local. But the iSCSI work was there mostly for us to get us going because by default we simply use NVMe Over Fabrics or local..."

EDIT: Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm looking at Mayastor, but remembered this quote from a video I watched a while back suggesting that while iSCSI works, it is probably not the way to the most from this software.

Yup this is mayastor -- I noted that (iscsi & NVMe-oF) -- NVMe and NVMe over Fabric.

iSCSI would be 90% of the usecases I'd think though -- unless you know every server you're getting NVMe attached, most providers are SSD or HDD right?

NVMe-oF is a transport protocol between an initiator (e.g. Linux nvmf module) and a target (e.g. spdk, Linux nvmf module, etc.) much as iSCSI is a transport protocol. The storage behind the target does not need to be NVMe for NVMe-oF nor does it need to be SCSI for iSCSI.

TIL -- I had no idea NVMe-oF was a transport protocol just like iSCSI was, so rather I should characterize it as NVMe-oF/iSCSI transport protocols. Thanks for the clarification
