NXRM Storage, Database, and High Availability

Storage

Blob Store

Can be a shared file system or a cloud object store.

Blob Stores

Recommended Shared File Systems

• NFS v4
• AWS EFS
• AWS S3

Database

Nexus 3 uses builtin DB OrientDB for holding metadata and pointers for blob objects.

High Availability

Discussing with Sonatype to ensure their HA-C solution is compatible with our deployment.

The upstream charts have the replica count hard-coded to 1, possibly due to a limitation.

Monitoring Node Health

NXRM provides two endpoints to monitor health status. Success is represented as HTTP 200 OK, failure is represented
as HTTP 503 SERVICE UNAVAILABLE.

• http://<hostname>:<port>/service/rest/v1/status Verifies that a node can handle read requests.

• http://<hostname>:<port>/service/rest/v1/status/writable Verifies that a node can handle read and write requests.
