Behavioral divergences

Persistent Disk

Quake AI concept: Volumes

  • Uses Google Compute Engine REST API instead of OpenStack Cinder API.
  • Offers multiple performance tiers (pd-standard HDD, pd-balanced SSD, pd-ssd, pd-extreme) with performance scaling linearly with provisioned size, unlike Cinder's backend-dependent performance.
  • Supports regional disks replicated synchronously across 2 zones for higher availability (better than 99.9999% durability), while Cinder volumes are typically zonal unless using replication features.
  • Online resize to increase size without detaching; no manual striping/RAID needed as GCP handles distribution automatically.
