Crucible: The Oxide Storage Service

Bryan and Adam are joined by members of the Oxide storage team--Josh, Alan, James, and Matt--to talk about Crucible, the service that provides block storage for VM instances running in the Oxide Rack.
In addition to Bryan Cantrill (mastodon.social/@bcantrill) and Adam Leventhal (mastodon.social/@ahl), we were joined by Oxide colleagues Josh Clulow (m.unix.house/@jmc), Alan Hanson, James MacMahon, and Matt Keeter (hachyderm.io/@mjk).

• en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS
