About Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Block Volume
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Block Volume provide customers reliable, high-performance block storage designed to work with a range of virtual machines and bare metal instances. With built-in redundancy, Block Volumes are persistent and durable beyond the lifespan of a virtual machine and can scale to 1 PB per compute instance. All volumes have built-in durability and run on redundant hardware to achieve high reliability. Back up block and boot volumes to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Object Storage to enable frequent recovery points. Easily optimize storage size without provisioning constraints. Extend existing block and boot volumes from 50 GB to 32 TB while they are online, and without any impact to applications and workloads. Clone existing volumes or restore from backups to move to larger volumes. Easily clone existing block volumes without initiating the backup and restore process.

Longhorn
In the past, ITOps and DevOps have found it hard to add replicated storage to Kubernetes clusters. As a result many non-cloud-hosted Kubernetes clusters don’t support persistent storage. External storage arrays are non-portable and can be extremely expensive. Longhorn delivers simplified, easy to deploy and upgrade, 100% open source, cloud-native persistent block storage without the cost overhead of open core or proprietary alternatives. Longhorn’s built-in incremental snapshot and backup features keep the volume data safe in or out of the Kubernetes cluster. Scheduled backups of persistent storage volumes in Kubernetes clusters is simplified with Longhorn’s intuitive, free management UI. External replication solutions will recover from a disk failure by re-replicating the entire data store. This can take days, during which time the cluster performs poorly and has a higher risk of failure.

Google Cloud Persistent Disk
Reliable, high-performance block storage for virtual machine instances. HDD offers low-cost storage when bulk throughput is of primary importance. SSD offers consistently high performance for both random-access workloads and bulk throughput. Both types can be sized up to 64 TB. With multi-reader mounting, many virtual machines can read data from a single Persistent Disk. Attaching a disk to more virtual machines does not affect aggregate performance or cost. No longer worry about undersizing your block devices. Persistent Disk gives you unlimited flexibility by allowing you to resize your storage while it’s in use by one or more virtual machines with no downtime. For maximum flexibility and minimal effort, snapshots are geo-replicated and available for restore in all regions by default. Snapshots of a block device can take place in minutes rather than hours. Persistent Disks are automatically encrypted to protect your data, in transit or at rest.

Huawei Cloud Elastic Volume Service
Elastic Volume Service (EVS) provides highly durable block storage for cloud servers such as Elastic Cloud Servers (ECS) and Bare Metal Servers (BMS). EVS offers 99.9999999% durability and as little as 1 millisecond of read/write latency for a broad range of mission-critical applications. You can choose from EVS disks with high I/O, general purpose SSD, or ultra-high I/O. Whatever your storage demands, there is always a great solution at a reasonable price, and with EVS disks you can always add space without disrupting services. If the capacity of an EVS disk is insufficient, you can immediately increase block storage space, even if the disk is currently in use. In just a few clicks, you can scale a system disk up to 1 TB and a data disk up to 32 TB, all without any disruption to your workloads. Data on EVS disks is encrypted using the industry-standard AES-256 encryption algorithm and keys.
