Are all data stored in one node in a multi-node microk8s cluster using default storageclass?

Hi,
I’ve established a multi-node microk8s cluster, and I’ve enabled the ‘storage add-on’.
However, I notice that the provisioner the storageclass uses is hostpath, so what I conern is whether this config would store all data in one node, which this provisioner pod on?
Thanks in advance.

The default storage is based on hostpath. Im not too sure how far you can use it with a multi node microk8s.
I will recommend using something else if you are using multi node.

I have tried longhorn with MicroK8s. Its easy to get it up and running. But i have not tried it with heavy workload, so i can’t comment on its performance.
