Distributed Storage Notebooks — Tutorials and Benchmarks ( public )
FABRIC StaffA collection of Jupyter notebooks for using distributed shared storage on the FABRIC testbed.
Tutorials
- cephfs_storage_basic.ipynb — Quick start: enable shared storage with
storage=Trueat the slice level or per node, verify mounts, read/write files - cephfs_storage.ipynb — Advanced demos: multi-site data sharing (write at STAR, read at UTAH), persistent storage across slice lifecycles, and producer/consumer data pipelines
Benchmarking
- cephfs_benchmarking.ipynb — Measure shared storage write throughput across FABRIC sites using Python, rsync, dd, and pv; includes shared vs local disk comparison and visualization
Prerequisites
- Your project must have storage allocated. To request storage, go to Portal → Experiments → Projects → <Your Project> → Request Storage.
