I'm looking forward to Longhorn[1] taking advantage of this technology.

They've also got Longhorn, a distributed container-attached storage solution that's very simple to understand and easy to deploy. Performance is another thing but that's the same with all of the general networked storage solutions (Ceph included).

Rancher's got a well deserved good impression in my mind, though early on I avoided them somewhat.

Longhorn synchronously replicates the volume across multiple replicas stored on multiple nodes https://github.com/longhorn/longhorn

At first look the numbers in the colourful table near the end, Piraeus/Linstor/DRBD seems 10x faster than Longhorn 0.8. The article goes into great depth of the (a)synchronous replication options of Piraeus, but doesn't mention that Longhorn always does synchronous replication. I wonder why?

SUSE being full into btrfs and CEPH, I wonder if they will allow Yasker https://github.com/longhorn/longhorn/graphs/contributors to continue developing. At Kubecon EU & US 2019 https://youtu.be/hvVnfZf9V6o?t=1659 Sheng Yang explains how he tried to make Longhorn first class citizen Kubernetes Storage.
