I have two storage nodes and one is much faster than the other.
I’m currently evaluating a juicefs deployment based on two minio instances (one per node, replicated with async bucket replication) through a load balancer (sidekick) in failover. Because juicefs also needs a db for metadata, I went with valkey + sentinel.
Juicefs provides a CSI driver that supports ReadWriteMany volumes and CSI snapshots and manages both read and write cache. Performance is much much better than Ceph. In theory it should be riskier (because of the async replication) but in practice I haven’t yet lost a bit.
