- Hypervisors and Containers
- Logging and Monitoring
  - Wikipedia - 3339). To make archived SolidFire logs more useful we'd have to create several filters (to gather only useful content and [convert it to a format that's easier to analyze](https://scaleoutsean.github.io/2021/10/18/solidfire-syslog-filebeat-logstash-elk-stack.html)) somewhere along log forwarding path. For comparison, vRealize Log Insight accepts formats in RFC-6587, RFC-5424, and RFC-3164 - see the Log Insight [link above](#vmware--blue-medora-true-visibility-for-vmware-vrealize-operations).

  - DevOps and Automation - end orchestrator (vSphere, Kubernetes, and so on) rather than directly accessing storage, although the Element API makes that convenient and easy. Each SDK or CLI has documentation which contains some examples on getting started and the same goes for various Github repositories such as SolidiFire/Element Provider for Terraform.
  - like this - level recipe](https://scaleoutsean.github.io/2023/12/07/solidfire-rbac-for-json-rpc-api.html) shows how it can be done, but doesn't have the details of JSON-RPC dissection and analysis.

It appears [it can work](https://scaleoutsean.github.io/2023/04/15/cloudcasa-netapp-trident-solidfire.html) with Velero, Trident and SolidFire, but further testing is necessary

For two Kubernetes clusters, each with own SolidFire cluster, you'd simply setup replication between SolidFire clusters (use consistency groups where necessary) and push Trident PVC->PV mapping to the remote site where you'd swap PV from SolidFire Cluster A for PVs replicated from SolidFire Cluster B so that you can promote Cluster B volume replicas to readWrite mode and run Trident volume import before you start Kubernetes on that site.
