Did you happen to look into CephFS? CERN (folks that operate Large Hadron Collider) use it to store ~30PB of scientific data. Their analysis cluster is serving ~30GB/s reads

Sure, so the use case I have requires elastic storage and elastic compute. So CephFS really isn't a good fit in the cloud environment for that case. It would get prohibitively expensive.

Ceph is more something you build your own cloud with than something you run on someone else's cloud.
