Description Ryan Howe 2016-10-21 15:51:50 UTC
Document URL: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.3/install_config/registry/deploy_registry_existing_clusters.html

Section Number and Name: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.3/install_config/registry/deploy_registry_existing_clusters.html

Describe the issue: 

NFS can not "guarantee" read-after-write consistency, when scaled. We can not recommend this as a good solution for the registry backed volume for production deployments. 

As NFS as the following known issues,
https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.3/install_config/registry/registry_known_issues.html#known-issue-nfs-image-push-fails

Suggestions for improvement: 
  
 Add documentation that states that NFS is not a good solution for the registry backed volume for production deployments. 
 
 Documentation for production deployments does not scale (we should highlight this). Alternatively production deployments should recommend object based storage for registry that want to scale.

Hi Ryan and Jianwei,

I added a note (per Brad's recommendation) to the known issues section. Please take a look at PR3869[1] when you get a chance. 

Thanks!

Thank you. Verified that NFS is not recommended for production deployment in our documentation.
