Bala, I think using Salt as the orchestration framework is a good idea. We would still need to have a consistent distributed store. I hope Salt has the provision to use one of our choice. It could be consul or something that satisfies the criteria for choosing alternate technology. I would wait for a couple of days for the community to chew on this and share their thoughts. If we have a consensus on this, we could 'port' the 'basic'[1] volume management commands to a system built using Salt and see for real how it fits our use case. Thoughts?
[1] basic commands - peer-probe, volume-create, volume-start and volume-add-brick ~KP ----- Original Message ----- > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Justin Clift" <[email protected]> > > To: "Balamurugan Arumugam" <[email protected]> > > Cc: "Kaushal M" <[email protected]>, [email protected], "Gluster > > Devel" <[email protected]> > > Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2014 7:33:52 AM > > Subject: Re: [Gluster-users] [Gluster-devel] Proposal for GlusterD-2.0 > > > > On 11/09/2014, at 2:46 AM, Balamurugan Arumugam wrote: > > <snip> > > > WRT glusterd problem, I see Salt already resolves most of them at > > > infrastructure level.
