		atombender on Sept 10, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Creating a PostgreSQL Cluster Using Helm I wonder how suitable EFS is for Postgres. It's supposedly low-latency, high-throughput and supports Unix locking semantics and so on. On the other hand, it's NFS (one of the worst protocols out there), and there have been reports of less than impressive latencies. EFS is also a lot more expensive than EBS.

EFS is also a lot more expensive than EBS.

That may be true, but getting a k8s cluster unwedged from EBS volume state mismanagement is expensive, too.

What I really want is the hutzpah to run GlusterFS but I am not yet brave enough to be in the keeping-a-production-FS-alive business.
