As this is a discussion, please can I ask you to create the topic on the Narayana user

Anything that is missing from the documentation though may need a JBTM issue to do the
work.
Documentation and configuration for deploying narayana on kubernetes
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JBTM-3230
URL:
https://issues.redhat.com/browse/JBTM-3230
Project: JBoss Transaction Manager
Issue Type: Task
Components: Cloud, Documentation
Reporter: David Sargrad
Priority: Optional
I am looking online for documentation that pertains to running Narayana on Kubernetes
(not openshift). I have found several resources online, but have really not found adequate
material on this critical question (critical in my mind due to the increasing focus on
kubernetes enabled services).
I am creating this issue to get help from the experts, and perhaps to help create some
further energy and support behind this need.
Resources that I have found that seem to relate include.

I am currently setting up a prototype system, and will carefully document the
configuration steps and configuration files required. I'd be glad to capture some of
that detail on this issue, to support the narayana team in capturing documentation.
My current appraoch is
# Run Narayana on k8s (rather than standalone).
# Use an external postgres object store (also running on k8s).
# Have the postgres object store use Ceph-RBD based PV’s (in other words ensure that
their storage is distinct and separate from the processing nodes both for JTA and for
Postgres)
Am I crazy to want to run narayana on k8s? Can it be done in a fashion that ensures
proper safety of the transactions that it manages? I believe the answer is no to the first
question and yes to the second.
Suggestions/Thoughts/Guidance from the experts would be appreciated.
