Hi Robert, thanks, I didn't know about that. However, it is only somewhat useful in our case. Like I said, it's not really clear reasoning that brings us to SSDs but rather that we want to stop any discussion about whether using them would be helpful for performance by simply doing so preemptively. Such a discussion would just waste time.
Are there any technical reasons why it wouldn't be a good idea to use an SSD as the boot disk? Right now we change it manually by modifying the instance template and we don't see any issues. It would be nice if we wouldn't have to do this change manually. Thanks, Richard 'Robert Bailey' via Containers at Google <[email protected]> schrieb am Do., 14.
