Gluster users - Mar 2020 - just discovered that OpenShift/OKD dropped GlusterFS storage support...

Hello everybody,
any reason why  OpenShift/OKD dropped GlusterFS storage support?
now in the documentation
https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.2/migration/migrating_3_4/planning-migration-3-to-4.html#migration-considerations

 is only:
UNSUPPORTED PERSISTENT STORAGE OPTIONS
Support for the following persistent storage options from OpenShift
Container Platform 3.11 has changed in OpenShift Container Platform 4.2:

GlusterFS is no longer supported.

CephFS is no longer supported.

Ceph RBD is no longer supported.

iSCSI is now Technology Preview.

migrations to 4.x becoming really painfull

thanks,
Arman.

Hey Arman,


I can't speak about OKD/Openshift,  but I think Gluster +  NFS Ganesha
should still be supported.

Sadly, this will require many people to reconfigure  their Gluster setup.

Migration should not be that difficult, see[1].
Ceph can be used using Rook and Ceph-CSI.

Hi Arman,

Not sure about Openshift dropping the support for GlusterFS. But a few GlusterFS
maintainers started a new project ?Kadalu? to provide persistent storage
solutions based on GlusterFS for applications running in
Kubernetes/Openshift/Rancher(or any other variant of K8s).

More details about the project is available here https://kadalu.io
<https://kadalu.io/>

A few highlights of Kadalu,

- Based on GlusterFS
- Not using management layer of GlusterFS(ie.., Glusterd), instead integrated
natively with Kubernetes APIs to manage GlusterFS
- RWO and RWX PVs are supported
- Easy to setup and use

Blog: https://kadalu.io/blog <https://kadalu.io/blog>
Github: https://github.com/kadalu/kadalu
<https://github.com/kadalu/kadalu>

We are making a steady progress towards Goal of making storage easy in
Kubernetes and our v1.0 release. Please try Kadalu Storage and provide feedback.

Thanks
