VDO provides dedupe/compression at the block layer. More at
https://github.com/dm-vdo/kvdo

It provides space savings, but there's a performance drop depending on the
workloads you run. It's better to turn on VDO if you're using SSD devices
as the performance decrease is less noticeable. But please run your own
benchmark tests to decide.
The vdo kernel module has been available since CentOS 7.5
