This whitepaper describes how to install Dell APEX Block Storage for AWS and MongoDB sharded container-based cluster instances. It also describes the installation of Kubernetes and CSI for dynamically provisioning persistent volumes to the database pods.
The storage can be configured to be based on Amazon instance store (NVMe SSD) or EBS volumes for persistent data, depending on the business case. With either of these storage types, PowerFlex consolidates compute and storage resources for high-performance applications in heterogeneous environments. PowerFlex enables you to dynamically scale storage resources in the cluster.
