Metadata Filling up on SG5812 appliances
This isn't more of a question any more but my experiences with having high metadata consumption on some of the nodes in a multi country stretched NetApp Storagegrid installation using just SG5812 appliances that come with 64GB RAM of which I believe 61GB is actual usable. This means the metadata limit maxs at 3TB per node…

Deploying StorageGRID in a Kubernetes Cluster
NetApp’s StorageGRID object store is very easy to use, but it can be challenging to get all of the right infrastructure together to deploy it, especially if you just want to try it out. But under the covers it’s built and deployed as container images, and recent Kubernetes-friendly enhancements make it possible to use…
