Description Steven J. Levine 2020-11-20 15:44:37 UTC

This is a documentation-only BZ to add a new entry to the 8.3 release notes. This from Steve Whitehouse via Vault:


"Resilient Storage (GFS2) is now supported on three major public clouds, Amazon (AWS), Microsoft (Azure) and Alibaba (Aliyun) with the introduction of shared block device support on those platforms. As a result GFS2 is now a true hybrid cloud cluster filesystem with options to use both on premises and in the public cloud."

Title:
Resilient Storage (GFS2) supported on AWS, Azure, and Aliyum public cloud

I would like to add these sentences to that release note entry (formatted properly, I'm just noting the info here).

Comment 3 Steven J. Levine 2020-12-03 16:51:08 UTC

The 8.3 release notes on the Portal now contain this new writeup, as the last entry under Filesystems and Storage:

Clearing needinfo and closing this out.
