Storage classes and performance for AWS clusters

Contributors netapp-mwallis

Astra Control Service can use Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS), Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, or NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP as the storage backend for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) clusters.

Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)

Your clusters can use Container Storage Interface (CSI) drivers to interface with EBS. When you use EBS as the storage backend for EKS clusters, you can configure some storage class parameters. For more information about what the parameters mean and how to configure them, refer to the Kubernetes documentation.

You can use several different types of volumes with EBS:

  • Solid state drives (SSD)

  • Hard disk drives (HDD)

  • Previous generation

For more information on each type of volume and their performance, refer to the Amazon EBS documentation. For pricing information, refer to Amazon EBS pricing.

Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP

When you use FSx for NetApp ONTAP as the storage backend for AWS clusters, I/O performance depends on the configuration of the filesystem and the characteristics of your workloads. For specific information on FSx for NetApp ONTAP performance, refer to Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP performance. For pricing information, refer to Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP Pricing.

NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP

For specific information on configuring NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP, including performance recommendations, visit the NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP documentation.
