CubeFS Deployment

CubeFS has developed a CSI plugin based on the Container Storage Interface (CSI) interface specification to support cloud storage in Kubernetes clusters.

CubeFS Application Scenarios

CubeFS is a cloud-native storage infrastructure that is widely used in a variety of scenarios, including big data storage, machine learning platforms, large-scale container platforms, as well as database and middleware storage and computing separation. It is also used for data sharing and protection.

Building a Highly Reliable, Highly Available, Low-Cost, and EB-Scale Independent Key-Value Storage System with CubeFS.

As data continues to grow, businesses face greater cost challenges. In order to alleviate the storage cost pressure caused by multi-copy mode, CubeFS has introduced a erasure code subsystem (also known as BlobStore), which is a highly reliable, highly available, low-cost, and EB-scale independent key-value storage system.

CubeFS's application in storage-computing separation scenario in ClickHouse.

ClickHouse can achieve the following advantages through the data tiering set by CubeFS. Fisrt is the Ultra-large capacity, because CubeFS provides storage space with almost no capacity limit, which removes the capacity limit of ClickHouse that is restricted by local resources. Second,Higher cost-effectiveness.Compared with local SSD storage arrays, CubeFS provides a bandwidth that far exceeds SSD arrays at the same price through cluster multi-machine IO concurrency.For more information，click to get it

Big Data Cold and Hot Separation Technology Practice in OPPO

OPPO has been storing its large-scale data in HDFS clusters with a total storage capacity of EB-level. However, due to the rapidly growing business, the company faced several operational issues, including lack of machine resources, high operational costs, and high redundancy in storing cold and hot data. In order to solve these problems, OPPO implemented CubeFS

The Application of CubeFS in Machine Learning

The article discusses OPPO's machine learning platform which supports over 100 AI businesses with tens of thousands of daily training tasks. The platform uses storage to manage corpora, datasets, and business models. Due to the growth of the platform, the original storage faced challenges, so they implemented continuous architecture iterations.

Secret of CubeFS｜ Multi-AZ Erasure Coding Disaster Tolerance

2023-11-30

This article introduces the AZ-level disaster tolerance scheme of the Blobstore erasure coding subsystem in CubeFS. Due to the disadvantages of high storage cost and low efficiency in the multi-replica storage mode, high network bandwidth consumption in the multi-AZ case, and the need to ensure data consistency in a timely manner, we will only discuss the erasure coding (EC) storage mode. Blobstore uses erasure coding to encode and calculate user data and persistently store it in multiple AZs, achieving high availability and disaster tolerance. The main content of the article includes the EC calculation principle in multiple AZs, as well as how to maintain high availability for writing, efficient reading, and reducing cross-AZ data recovery. The reliability for EC data is not elaborated here, and can be found in our related articles.
