I'm looking for alternative storage classes to Longhorn for production clusters, specifically ones that can work with NFS or object storage systems. Longhorn supports ext4 and xfs, but I want to explore other options that provide similar functionality.

Ceph is another great option. It supports NFS, cephfs, and object storage, making it very versatile. Also, if you're looking for a filesystem that runs on S3, consider JuiceFS.
Once you get Ceph set up correctly, it’s incredibly reliable. Just make sure you have solid backups in place for peace of mind!
You might want to check out Rook for managing Ceph clusters. It's been rock solid for me over the years, despite some challenges early on. You can find more about it at rook.io.
Longhorn’s `ReadWriteMany` actually uses NFS under the hood, so you might consider that if you're not already aware. It's quite handy!
Good recommendation! Backup is key.
