Lightbits Labs is rolling out the newest version of its OS, Lightbits Labs LightOS 2.0. The company states that the new version enables cloud-native persistent storage integration for Kubernetes with unprecedented scaling and availability via clustering. Lightbits goes on to say that containerized applications can enjoy reliable disaggregated storage that performs like local flash.
Lightbits Labs LightOS 2.0 looks to improve over the last version everywhere it can. LightOS 2.0 enables the independent scaling of compute and storage. Other storage innovations include the creation of virtual NVMe volumes for low latency, high performance, as well as the ability to provide high availability via seamless target-side storage server failover. On the container side of things, 2.0 leverages a CSI plugin for Kubernetes to support stateful container storage needs. Kubernetes need large-scale clusters with persistent and durable storage for rapid node migration, workload rebalancing, or recovery from failure without copying data over the network. All of which makes LightOS 2.0 all the more appealing.
LightOS 2.0 is said to automatically optimized for I/O intensive compute clusters (think Kafka, Cassandra, MySQL, MongoDB, and time series database) when it is installed on commodity servers. Each server can support 64k namespaces and 16k connections.
