Simplyblock AWS Deployment Demo - Full Setup and Performance Showcase

In this video, we provide a detailed demo of deploying a simplyblock storage cluster on AWS. Watch step-by-step as we set up the control plane, add storage nodes, and configure high-availability storage with i4g.8xlarge Graviton instances based on ARM architecture.

You'll see how to:
✅ Deploy and configure the control plane and storage nodes
✅ Create storage pools and volumes (LVols)
✅ Connect volumes to Linux clients
✅ Achieve high IOPS and low latency performance on AWS
✅ Automate the process using our CSI driver with Kubernetes
✅ Handle snapshots, clones, and S3 backups

🎬 Chapters:
00:10 – Installing the control plane and monitoring services
00:40 – High-availability setup with multiple nodes
01:10 – Deploying x86 control plane nodes and ARM storage nodes on AWS
01:40 – Cluster initialization and configuration
02:30 – Creating storage pools and adding volumes (LVols)
03:30 – Connecting storage volumes to Linux clients
04:20 – Kubernetes integration using CSI driver
05:20 – Volume performance testing (IOPS and latency)
06:10 – Snapshots, clones, and S3 backups
07:00 – Final thoughts and automation via API

With this demo, you'll understand how simplyblock simplifies cloud storage management and reduces EBS storage cost by up to 90%, while delivering top-tier performance compared to traditional solutions like EBS.
