Configure storage

Overview

Aerospike Database supports a number of storage configurations.

Configure storage

• Use flash memory for the Aerospike data and indexes: All Flash
• Test an Aerospike cluster without using separate storage: Data in Memory
• Use a provisioned SSD storage device: Data on SSD
• Store namespace data both in memory and on a persistent device: HDD Storage with Data in Memory
• Use the OpenEBS (Elastic Block Store) platform for distributed persistent volume storage: OpenEBS
• Use high-performance local SSDs with a network-attached shadow device for data durability in cloud instances: Shadow Device
• Use persistent storage external to the Kubernetes pods: Storage Provisioning

Scaling

See Scaling Aerospike on Kubernetes for instructions on scaling storage after deployment.
