Scaling Multicloud Object Gateway performance

The Multicloud Object Gateway (MCG) performance may vary from one environment to another. In some cases, specific applications require faster performance which can be easily addressed by scaling S3 endpoints.

The MCG resource pool is a group of NooBaa daemon containers that provide two types of services enabled by default:
  • Storage service
  • S3 endpoint service

S3 endpoint service

The S3 endpoint is a service that every Multicloud Object Gateway (MCG) provides by default that handles the heavy lifting data digestion in the MCG. The endpoint service handles the inline data chunking, deduplication, compression, and encryption, and it accepts data placement instructions from the MCG.
