Native ZFS VDEV for Object Storage (OpenZFS Summit)

FS metrics without random IO benchmark are near meaningless, sequential read is best case for basically every file system and it's essentially "how fast you can get things from S3" in this case

How does this relate to the work presented a few years ago by the ZFS devs using S3 as object storage? https://youtu.be/opW9KhjOQ3Q?si=CgrYi0P4q9gz-2Mq

That’s brilliant! Always amazed at how zfs keeps morphing and stays relevant!

I do not get it.

Why would I use zfs for this? Isn't the power of zfs that it's a filesystem with checksum and stuff like encryption?

Why would I use it for s3?
