I'm new to DigitalOcean and K8S and can't seem to wrap my head around this:
If I need to run multiple replica of Nginx containers, should I use block storage or NFS storage? I want static html data share by all the NGINX containers running in separate pods. From my understanding, if I want to share data across multiple pods, I should be using NFS. Taken from https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-readwritemany-rwx-persistent-volumes-with-nfs-on-digitalocean-kubernetes
The digitalocean-csi integrates a Kubernetes cluster with the DigitalOcean Block Storage product. A developer can use this to dynamically provision Block Storage volumes for containerized applications in Kubernetes. However, applications can sometimes require data to be persisted and shared across multiple Droplets. DigitalOcean’s default Block Storage CSI solution is unable to support mounting one block storage volume to many Droplets simultaneously. This means that this is a ReadWriteOnce (RWO) solution, since the volume is confined to one node. The Network File System (NFS) protocol, on the other hand, does support exporting the same share to many consumers. This is called ReadWriteMany (RWX), because many nodes can mount the volume as read-write. We can therefore use an NFS server within our cluster to provide storage that can leverage the reliable backing of DigitalOcean Block Storage with the flexibility of NFS shares.
Any clarification would be appreciated.
