About Pods > A pod often represents a single rack. Hosts in the same pod are in the same > subnet. A pod is the second-largest organizational unit within a CloudStack > deployment. Pods are contained within zones. > Each zone can contain one or more pods. A pod consists of one or more > clusters of hosts and one or more primary storage servers. Pods are not > visible to the end user. > [Pod is "third-largest" rather than "second-largest" now, after region and > zone] > 2.4. About Clusters > ... > A cluster is the third-largest organizational unit within a CloudStack > deployment. Clusters are contained within pods, and pods are contained within > zones. Size of the cluster is limited by the underlying hypervisor, although > the CloudStack recommends less in most cases; see Best Practices. > [cluster is the "fourth-largest" now] > 2.7 > CloudStack provides plugins that enable both OpenStack Object Storage (Swift, > swift.openstack.org1 > ) > and Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) object storage. When using one of > these storage plugins, you configure Swift or S3 storage for the entire > CloudStack, then set up the NFS Secondary Staging Store for each zone. The > NFS storage in each zone acts as a staging area through which all templates > and other secondary storage data pass before being forwarded to Swoft or S3. > The backing object storage acts as a cloud-wide resource, making templates > and other data available to any zone in the cloud. > "Swift" not "Swoft" -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
