If you're using KVM, I personally wouldn't use anything other than Ceph
RBD for primary storage. Just make sure you use enterprise grade disks,
don't do something like samsung QVO disks which will give you nothing
but headaches.

Go with NFS for a quick start. Personally, i am a huge fan of iscsi. But with
ACS you need a clustered filesystem on top, which adds some complexity and
probably some surprises.
iSCSI with clustered LVM would be great... like XCP does it for example

I am new to CloudStack and could need some help/advise regarding which
technology to use to implement my shared storage (primary storage).
Having some FibreChannel stuff in the lab this could work well.
... but I am concerned that this is not the direction CloudStack is
developing into.
So:
- NFS
- iSCSI
- Ceph
... would be the choices regarding the docs.
Not sure if iSCSI would fit for shared storage as I do not see it in the
list of protocols supported for primary storage in GUI.
What is the most future-proof solution to choose for primary storage?
I want to stay on the main-path CloudStack is going to, so I can use new
features coming out in the next months and not being blocked by 'sorry,
not supported for your protocol'
