Hi Alfredo:

In latest master, the ceph is not mandatory , and stx is enabling  others storages solution  .

For example [1] , netapp can be used as k8s PV and storage backend

Rook [2] is integrating into starlingx too , which can support K8S and Openstack .

User/customer can integrated other storage type as k8s application .

By this,  you don’t need dedicate storage nodes.

Hope this can help you .

Hi Austin et al. 

Any thoughts about this?

Thanks Austin.

does it mean that it will never be possible or it's in a roadmap? 

Also is it possible to force/customise at your own responsibility?

Cheers

Hi Alfredo:

   I think  you are using version later than 3.0 .

   The answer should be no,  the compute nodes don’t have storage personality , so ceph osds are not enabled in compute nodes.

Thanks.

Hi all.

Just a quick question. 

For testing purpose, we deployed a Distributed Cloud 3.0 with 2 controller. Than we deployed  the sub-cloud with the option Bare metal Standard with Controller Storage Installation

Now in the future we will deploy Bare metal Standard with Dedicated  Storage Installation

 and I wonder if we can actually use the storage on the compute nodes rather than having dedicate storage. 

Would it be possible?

Cheers
