Issues around zoned storage for filesystems was the topic of a combined
storage and filesystem session at
2023 Linux Storage, Filesystem,
Memory-Management and BPF Summit led by
Bart Van Assche,
Viacheslav A. Dubeyko, and Naohiro Aota. Zoned storage began with the
advent of shingled
magnetic recording (SMR) devices, but is now implemented by NVMe zoned
namespaces (ZNS) as well.
SMR devices can have multiple zones with different
characteristics, with some zones that can only be written in sequential
order, while other, conventional zones can be written in any order. The
talk was focused on filesystems using the sequential type of zones
since the conventional zones are already well-supported in Linux and its
filesystems.
When three years ago Dell rolled out its Apex initiative, the massive IT supplier was joining a growing list of tech companies like HPE, Lenovo, and Cisco

I explained the concepts and theory behind Data Residency in a previous post. It’s time to get our hands dirty and implement it in a simple demo. The sample architecture In the last section of the previous post, I proposed a sample architecture where location-based routing happened at two different stages: The API Gateway checks for an existing X-Country header. Depending on its value, it forwards the request to the computed upstream; If no value is found or no value matches, it forwar
Cloud computing has opened a Pandora’s Box of many original issues compared to sound old on-premise systems. I believe that chief among them is Data Residency, or Data Location: Data localization or data residency law requires data about a nation’s citizens or residents to be collected, processed, and/or stored inside the country, often before being transferred internationally. Such data is usually transferred only after meeting local privacy or data protection laws, such as givin
