TrueNAS Mastery: Architecting Resilient, Secure, and Scalable OpenZFS Storage Systems for Enterprise, Hybrid Cloud, and High-Availability Environments

By Willow Runner

Your storage infrastructure is the unbreakable foundation of enterprise continuity-yet most deployments leave critical vulnerabilities exposed to failure, breach, or scalability limits.

In TrueNAS Mastery: Architecting Resilient, Secure, and Scalable OpenZFS Storage Systems, Willow Runner delivers an authoritative, 23-chapter roadmap for building fault-tolerant TrueNAS and OpenZFS environments that guarantee data integrity, high availability, and hybrid cloud agility. This comprehensive volume arms systems architects, DevOps engineers, and IT leaders with battle-tested methodologies for ZFS redundancy, snapshot replication, encryption-at-rest, high-availability clustering, disaster recovery orchestration, and proactive monitoring-all optimized for performance, compliance, and cost efficiency in American enterprise settings.

Master every layer of resilient storage design: from pool topology and RAID-Z configurations to automated failover, off-site replication, ACL enforcement, and audit-ready logging. Whether you manage on-premises clusters, hybrid cloud workloads, or petabyte-scale archives, these chapters provide production-ready blueprints, Python automation scripts, and real-world case studies drawn from Fortune 500 deployments and Silicon Valley data centers.

Inside You'll DiscoverEnd-to-end ZFS pool creation, vdev optimization, and redundancy modelingEncryption key management, SED integration, and dataset-level securityHigh-availability failover with CARP, CTDB, and iSCSI multipathingSnapshot scheduling, send/receive replication, and cloud-tiered backupsDisaster recovery playbooks with rollback testing and RPO/RTO validationMonitoring, alerting, and predictive analytics using Prometheus and GrafanaAutomation frameworks with Ansible, SaltStack, and TrueNAS API orchestrationWhy This Book Matters
