Hi Kris,
Indeed the object storage transformation has not been a hot topic for
some time. I explored this some years ago and did some proof of concept
testing. It requires a fairly different architecture:
https://molnix.com/proposal-new-open-source-backup-solution/
Essentially, the object storage to fuse approach is not workable as-is
from a performance standpoint, at least in almost any production
scenario I can imagine.
The compute node needs to independently do at least the checksum
matching, storage buffering or tiering, and object storage rate limiting.
With the fuse approach you can get pretty close to that by putting only
pool or cpool on fuse, and keeping pc locally, added with some
configuration tweaks. However, the object storage needs to be
asynchronous to the backup for it to really make sense.
I believe the efforts to create FS-to-object layers to transform
existing software to cloud concepts without actual code changes quieted
down exactly because of these types of issues.
Best regards,
Johan

This hasn't been addressed for a while, and I didn't find anything in

Anybody have any experience or hypothetical issues with writing the
BPC4 Pool over s3fs-fuse to S3 or something similar? Pros, Cons?
Thanks,
