+\begin{frame}

+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Global:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Max. $\sim$100 nodes per cluster (excluding gateways)
+ \end{itemize}
+ \vspace{1em}
+ \item Metadata:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item One big bucket = bottleneck, object list on 3 nodes only
+ \end{itemize}
+ \vspace{1em}
+ \item Block manager:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Lots of small files on disk

+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{Deployment advice for very large clusters}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Metadata storage:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item ZFS mirror (x2) on fast NVMe
+ \item Use LMDB storage engine
+ \end{itemize}
+ \vspace{.5em}
+ \item Data block storage:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Use Garage's native multi-HDD support
+ \item XFS on individual drives
+ \item Increase block size (1MB $\to$ 10MB, requires more RAM and good networking)
+ \item Tune \texttt{resync-tranquility} and \texttt{resync-worker-count} dynamically
+ \end{itemize}
+ \vspace{.5em}
+ \item Other :
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Split data over several buckets
+ \item Use less than 100 storage nodes
+ \item Use gateway nodes
+ \end{itemize}
+ \vspace{.5em}
+ \end{itemize}
