Which storage backends can be used by consul #4099

Open ForcemCS opened 3 months ago

ForcemCS commented 3 months ago

I'm getting started with consul, and I don't find anything in the documentation section about the storage backends that can be used (e.g., s3, filesystems, etc.), which is confusing for me

Hi @ForcemCS, Consul needs access to a filesystem to store its data. We recommend local disks, but network attached storage can be used in certain scenarios. See https://developer.hashicorp.com/consul/docs/architecture/scale#write-heavy-workload-sources-and-solutions for a list of more info on the disk I/O requirements.
