Chapter 4. Using Red Hat Gluster Storage in the Google Cloud Platform
The Google Cloud Platform is Google’s public cloud offering, which provides many services to run a fully integrated cloud-based environment. The Google Compute Engine is what drives and manages the virtual machine environment. This chapter is based on this virtual machine infrastructure. This virtual framework provides networking, storage, and virtual machines to scale out the Red Hat Gluster Storage environment to meet the demands of the specified workload.

4.1. Planning your Deployment
The original test build was limited by the maximum per-VM persistent disk size of 10 TB. Google has since increased that limit to 64 TB. Red Hat will support persistent disks per VM up to Google's current maximum size of 64 TB. (Note that 64 TB is both a per-disk and a per-VM maximum, so the actual data disk maximum will be 64 TB minus the operating system disk size.)
4.1.1. Environment
4.1.2. Prerequisites
- Google account
- Google Cloud SDK. The Google Cloud SDK contains tools and libraries that enable you to easily create and manage resources on Google Cloud Platform. It will be used later to facilitate the creation of the multiple Red Hat Gluster Storage instances . For instructions to set up and install the Google Cloud SDK, see https://cloud.google.com/sdk.
- Subscription to access the Red Hat Gluster Storage software channels. For information on subscribing to the Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.5 channels, refer to the Installing Red Hat Gluster Storage chapter in the Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.5 Installation Guide.
- Minimum required number of nodes is 3.
- For compatible physical server, virtual server and client OS platforms , refer https://access.redhat.com/articles/66206.
4.1.3. Primary Storage Pool Configuration
- Red Hat Gluster Storage configured in a 10 x 2 Distribute-Replicate volume
- 20 x n1-highmem-4 instances:
Resource Specification vCPU 4 Memory 26 GB Boot Disk 20 GB standard persistent disk Data Disk 10,220 GB standard persistent disk. The maximum persistent disk allocation for a single instance is 10 TB. Therefore the maximum size of our data disk is necessarily 10 TB minus the 20 GB size of the boot disk, or 10,220 GB. Image Custom Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.5 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 - VM zone allocation:Each Gluster synchronous replica pair is placed across zones in order to limit the impact of a zone failure. A single zone failure will not result in a loss of data access. Note that the setting synchronous replica pairs is a function of the order the bricks defined in the
gluster volume create
command.
4.1.4. Secondary Storage Pool Configuration
- Gluster configured in a 10 x 1 Distribute volume
- 10 x n1-highmem-4 instances:
Resource Specification vCPU 4 Memory 24 GB Boot Disk 20 GB standard persistent disk Data Disk 10,220 GB standard persistent disk Image Custom Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.5 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 - VM zone allocation:The secondary storage pool as designed as a receiver of asynchronous replication, via geo-replication, in a remote region for disaster recovery. To limit the cost of this protective layer, this storage pool is not synchronously replicated within its local region and a distribute-only gluster volume is used. In order to limit the potential impact of an outage, all nodes in this region are placed in the same zone.
