Hey Guys
I was thinking if anyone in this forum might answer me couple of things i don´t know the answers to myself.
1) I know you can run ZFS on a virtual machine if you do PCI passthrough (with LSI controller with the 2008 chipset). But i´m wondering who provides a good service running ZFS in the cloud and what platform/Distro is available running ZFS in the cloud (I´ve heard digital Ocean offers block storage) and i´m thinking about a good way of deploying ZFS for example using AWS , Azure and Digital Ocean. Any pointers of what is a good way of running ZFS using these services ?
2) ZFS is only supported for data storage, not the root filesystem on Ubuntu 16.04 Server , what are the main disadvantages running ZFS on Ubuntu vs running ZFS on Freenas/Freebsd (what is the gain of having ZFS running on the root filesystem) ? Anyone ?
Cheers
