SPDK v22.09: FTL, xNVMe bdev, DAOS bdev, SMA crypto and QoS
On behalf of the SPDK community I’m pleased to announce the release of SPDK 22.09!!
This release contains the following new features:
- Flash translation layer: The previous FTL library has been entirely replaced with a new version designed specifically to combine a fast cache device with a large backing device that requires large sequential writes, such as a zoned device.
- xNVMe bdev: Added a new bdev module that forwards I/O to the xNVMe library. Please see the xNVMe documentation for more details.
- DAOS bdev: Added a new bdev module backed by DAOS. Please see the DAOS documentation for more details.
- SMA crypto and QoS: Expanded SMA with support for configuring crypto when attaching a volume and configuring QoS on per-device or per-volume level.
The full changelog for this release is available here.
