Get to know OpenEBS LocalPV Provisioners
OpenEBS provides Dynamic PV provisioners for Kubernetes Local Volumes. A local volume implies that storage is available only from a single node. A local volume represents a mounted local storage device such as a disk, partition or directory. For distributed applications that do not need storage level replication OpenEBS LocalPV is the most efficient option as it gives higher performance. OpenEBS LocalPV offers of four types of provisioners:
Hostpath
OpenEBS LocalPV Hostpath allows your applications to access hostpath via StorageClass, PVC, and PV. This provides you the flexibility to change the PV providers without having to redesign your Application YAML.
- Data protection using the Velero Backup and Restore.
- Protect against hostpath security vulnerabilities by asking the hostpath completely from the application YAML and pod.
Device LocalPV
OpenEBS LocalPV Device provisioner allows your applications to use the block devices available on the node to persist data.
- Dynamic Volume provisioner as opposed to a Static Provisioner.
- Better management of the Block Devices used for creating LocalPVs by OpenEBS NDM. NDM provides capabilities like discovering Block Device properties, setting up Device Filters, metrics collection and ability to detect if the Block Devices have moved across nodes.
ZFS LocalPV
OpenEBS LocalPV Device provisioner allows your applications to use LocalPVs backed by ZFS pools on the node to persist data.
- All data consistency and pooling benefits of ZFS
- Snapshots and clone capabilities
LVM LocalPV
OpenEBS LocalPV Device provisioner allows your applications to use LocalPVs backed by LVM pools on the node to persist data.
- High availability and pooling benefits of LVM
- Snapshots and clone capabilities
