The document outlines a webinar discussing the fast deployment of highly available and scalable storage solutions using RightScale and Gluster. Key highlights include the benefits of using server templates for efficiency, storage challenges in AWS without Gluster, and the ability to implement a highly available file system within Amazon's infrastructure. The session also addresses specific use cases for Gluster, performance metrics, and invites participants to further engage through Q&A.

- 22. Storage Challenges in AWS Without Gluster Highly Available POSIX storage is impossibleRedundant NFS is not possible within EC2NAS performance is limited to the speed of a single instance80MB/s maximum throughput for a single EC2 instanceLarger more expensive EC2 instances are required to reach 80MB/sPerformance within AWS is unpredictableResources within EC2 speed up and slow downPerformance on EBS volumes can vary up to 70% from the mean hour to hourNAS Is difficult to scale An instance is limited to ~120TB of storage S3 requires application rewrites to leverage object storageS3 is incredibly slow (~15MB/s)EC2EC2EBS
- 23. Enter Gluster – RightScale Server TemplateWe are the ONLY way to implement a highly available file system in Amazon. We limit the performance vagaries of Amazon virtual machines and storage. There is NO limit to the speed of a Gluster cluster, regardless of file size, block size, etc.There is NO limit to the number of files in a Gluster cluster, regardless of file size, block size, etc.Gluster is designed to work across availability zones and with S3 snapshots for genuine HA storage.From concept to production in 30 minutes.2 hour support SLA. Guaranteed.
- 24. When to use GlusterUnstructured DataVideo FilesAudio FilesPicturesGeneral Office documentsWeb contentEmails (Zimbra, Sendmail, etc.)When not to use GlusterDatabases (MySQL, Oracle, Postgres, etc.)Structured FilesData where on-disk block order matters
- 25. Scaling performanceThe total speed of the cluster is the aggregated speed of every instance.Single file performance is limited to the instances(s) on which the file exists.Gluster has been benchmarked in Amazon @ 5300MB/sec aggregated throughput.Single file performance is limited to ~80MB/sec.

Editor's Notes
- #15: We’re adding an additional instance ot he cluster yes?About how long will it take to be fully available?How do I access my new storage?Can you explain what the GLusterFS protocol is?How would I be able to spread data across availability zones without gluster?You’re adding a lot of EBS volumes, does that cost more from amazon?What protocol do you use to mount by default?
