Storage
NKS integrates with Nirvana’s storage infrastructure to provide high-performance persistent volumes for stateful workloads running on Kubernetes.
Accelerated Block Storage (ABS)
Section titled “Accelerated Block Storage (ABS)”NKS clusters in us-sva-2 use Accelerated Block Storage (ABS) for persistent volumes, delivering performance built for always-hot, data-intensive workloads.
- 20K baseline IOPS with up to 600K burst capacity
- Sub-millisecond latency (~0.3 to 1.5 ms)
- Sustained throughput — no throttling after extended use, unlike traditional cloud storage
- Volume sizes from 32 GB to 4 PB
Kubernetes-Native Storage
Section titled “Kubernetes-Native Storage”NKS provides a pre-configured StorageClass so you can provision persistent volumes using standard Kubernetes PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) resources. No additional CSI driver installation or storage configuration is required — it works out of the box.
Ideal Workloads
Section titled “Ideal Workloads”ABS-backed persistent volumes are well suited for:
- Databases — PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, OpenSearch, and other storage-intensive databases that require sustained IOPS
- Blockchain indexers — High-throughput data ingestion and querying with consistent low latency
- Stateful services — Any Kubernetes workload that needs reliable, high-performance persistent storage
See Accelerated Block Storage (ABS) for full specifications and pricing.
