Description:

Recently I did small research about new SDS and found a new project SaunaFS. It's quite interesting and this is why:

  1. It has an Open Source version.
  2. Principal Architect is an author of LizardFS (open source fork of MooseFS).
  3. It is a HM-SMR aware/compatible SDS (as well sa Ceph).
  4. There are some unique features like "power disable": feature to decrease storage power draw by 25%
  5. Kubernetes support.
