I’d like to summarize my very personal understanding – not necessarily officially speaking for my employer IBM. Be invited to reach out to IBM Client Engineering (a presales invest by IBM) if you have a need to discuss, demo or evaluate in connection to an active Opportunity ( i know, but that’s the rules of engagement ) * Swift S3 is complex to maintain, as said by Christoph Martin. IBM supports multiple stacks for multiple products. That along with currency the main reason to move away * For alternatives a focus on ‘unified access via file and s3’ was set, so the feature set required is something (for you as a customer) to evaluate. * You can find references on our future architecture publicly available, its based on the same noobaa stack that is used in RedHat ODF MCG. I would like to recommend the following blog of my IBM CE peer Nils Haustein: https://community.ibm.com/community/user/storage/blogs/nils-haustein1/2024/02/21/s3-tiering-to-tape-with-noobaa-part-1-introduction https://community.ibm.com/community/user/storage/blogs/nils-haustein1/2024/02/21/s3-tiering-to-tape-with-noobaa-part-2-deployment https://community.ibm.com/community/user/storage/blogs/nils-haustein1/2024/02/26/s3-tiering-to-tape-with-noobaa-part-3-tiering * Some might consider release timing, .. But here is the plan, thanks for already outlining, Renar! https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/storage-scale/5.1.9?topic=summary-changes * IBM Storage Scale 5.1.8 is the last release that has CES Swift Object protocol. * IBM Storage Scale 5.1.9 [EUS release] will tolerate the update of a CES node from IBM Storage Scale 5.1.8 - so if you have it, you can keep it * I’m expecting TechPreview and GA within the next two releases – technical details as per above blog. I hope this helps to clarify IBM’s plan of record. I’d like to reinvite you to reach out to IBM (via IBM Sales / directly) if you’d like to follow-up.
