Disk recommendations for running nodes
background
OEC nodes use level db to store block data and state data, and frequently read disks, which have relatively high requirements for disk performance.
question
Using Alibaba Cloud's ordinary cloud disk will cause the node to lag behind in synchronizing blocks.
Solution
Alibaba Cloud has 4 cloud disk types: ordinary cloud disk, high-efficiency cloud disk, SSD cloud disk and ESSD cloud disk. It is recommended to use SSD cloud disk.
It is also recommended to use ssd type cloud disks for aws machines.
