Investigate using ephemeral storage #17

Closed tdudgeon closed 3 years ago

tdudgeon commented 3 years ago

l2e flavours have big local SSD disks, but these are ephemeral. They survive a restart of the VM but go out of existence when the VM is terminated. We should investigate how we can use these disks as they will be much faster than using network storage.

One possibility is for the data volume of the Neo4j databases. Another is volumes for Longhorn.

As we are now using l2 instances for workers (dev cluster only for now) we have set up Longhorn to use the large root volume. This probably makes this task obsolete.
