this is related to the following peculiar challenge: I have some statefulsets that need, before they first start, have their volume seeded with 3-400GB of data. (all stateful sets the same data). The best I could do atm is upload this data to S3 and have an init container that uses the aws cli to download this data. But this takes quite some time on start. The data needs to be in the volume as it is a “snapshot” that needs read/write when the main container starts and cannot be write many. So i’m looking to make this blazing fast.

thats really pretty cool.
