Comparison between jbod vs single large disk for kafka broker

[Jigar Shah <ji...@gmail.com>]

Hello,
Currently, I have a capacity issue with my current kafka cluster where in
the existing EBS volume is proving insufficient for the new load of
incoming data.
I need to find a solution to persist more data in my cluster and I see two
options
        - one to vertically scale volume size
        - and other to add a new volume and add it as additional directory
for the kafka log

Are there any drawbacks to using the JBOD approach over vertical scaling?


Thank you,
