Gluster Storage and Kadalu Storage share the same filesystem backend that is GlusterFS. Which makes it natural to think about migrating a Gluster Volume to Kadalu Volume....

After facing many challenges with Glusterd based Volume management, we experimented to integrate the GlusterFS core filesystem with Kubernetes without using Glusterd. This experiment helped us to understand that some of Gluster's capabilities are limited by the Management layer and not by the filesystem itself....

2021 was a great year for us with a handful of projects related to GlusterFS feature development, training, and other Open-source projects. We are excited about 2022 with many projects in the pipeline....

Disperse Storage, Archiving PVs, Better Arm support and much more...

At Kadalu.io, we reviewed the existing projects around GlusterFS and identified a few projects which can help the users to manage/monitor GlusterFS clusters....

gstatus is a command line tool which aggregates the various status information about GlusterFS cluster and presents the data in pretty printed format on the console....

Use Kadalu Storage as Local Storage alternative, experimental Arm support and much more...

Kadalu.IO's take on IDC's Public Cloud Spend research, and how we think it is fitting well with our roadmaps...

Kadalu team is actively working on creating the opinionated storage solution based on GlusterFS, and the new solution aims to improve the user experience by providing modern methods to manage the Storage cluster....

Kadalu Storage can provision the smallest Persistent Volume as low as 20MiB for the applications running in Kubernetes(k8s). Small PVs are attractive for many use cases like providing home dir for each container user or storing config files of applications etc....

In the journey from v0.5 to v1.0 we aim to work through the tasks of maturing the set of capabilities which we consider to be required as part of the general availability of the release. We also intend to focus on reaching out to the users and engaging with them to understand how to streamline the switching over from Heketi to a Kadalu based deployment of Gluster as persistent storage....

We are excited to make available a new release of Kadalu Storage. The Kadalu Storage 0.5 continues to provide a lightweight solution to provision persistent storage for applications running in Kubernetes...

Kadalu project offers a lightweight persistent storage solution for applications running in Kubernetes. Kadalu k8s storage solution is lightest among all the other k8s integrations using Gluster because Kadalu is integrated natively with Kubernetes without using Gluster's management daemon. With this many layers are reduced and completely isolated processes related to different storage devices....

Kadalu kubectl plugin further simplifies the hassle of generating storage YAML file and adding it to the Kadalu Storage....

One of the primary goal for us at Kadalu is keeping things ‘simple’ (It was same for us when we started ‘Gluster’ project). As part of that, our goal was always minimum config, and steps to get things configured. And also, keep the dependency minimal. With release v0.4, kadalu is closer to the reality of true cattle mode for storage...

It has been more than 3 years since Kubernetes (k8s) picked up exponential growth. Now, almost every software company and every product are trying to latch on to this phenomena and expand. While such stupendous growth is a nice thing, it is not without its unique challenges....

If we remove Glusterd in k8s setup, who will do the role of Glusterd? How will the brick process get the port number?...

This blog gives a small snippet into the talk we are giving in DevConf.IN’19. Goes little deep into Gluster project details....
