Object Store

Status

Accepted

Context

In the context of uc-0001, applications need to store objects. As a system administrator, I want a highly available, easily scalable storage.

Alternatives considered

We believe that CSI or distributed file system are complex systems to manage and object store tend to be lighter in terms of management. Object Store alleviates POSIX constraints.

Decision Outcome

Use only applications that rely on S3.

Negative Consequences

Not all applications support S3. We need to have an Object Store.

Positive Consequences

Object Store implements versioning that we can use as a PITR.
