Chris, I've used BeeGFS on AWS before. I was mostly testing the installation procedure and the performance. It's not really persistent storage since I would bring up a cluster, run some tests, and then tear down the cluster. I think the longest I had a cluster running was about 1-2 weeks (I was running tests the whole time).
The performance was very good and it was easy to install. I used the rpm's to install on CentOS 7 (storage and clients). I used xfs underneath since I didn't want to try putting ZFS on the servers at the time (I was interested in performance testing so I wanted to keep it simple). Hope this helps.
