About 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.

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.

Tencent Cloud Block Storage
Tencent Cloud Cloud Block Storage (CBS) provides a persistent block storage service for CVM instances. The lifecycle of an Elastic Cloud Disk is independent of CVM instances. You can mount multiple cloud disks to a CVM instance and unmount them in order to mount them to another CVM instance. CBS offers cloud disks of multiple types and specifications to achieve stable and low-latency storage performance. CBS supports mounting and unmounting to instances in the same availability zone. You can use it to adjust storage capacity in minutes to satisfy elastic demands and pay for only what you use. When disk space becomes insufficient during use, you can purchase one or more cloud disks to satisfy storage capacity requirements. Purchase cloud disks to meet storage demands you did not plan for when buying the CVM instance. Store data on a cloud disk, unmount it, then mount it to another CVM instance to transfer data.
