Kubernetes supports Stateful Applications by connecting to your existing storage. But what if you don’t have any? Or the storage capabilities differs between your environments? Wouldn’t it be nice if Kubernetes itself would be able provide storage services without any external dependency from Day1? gluster-kubernetes is an umbrella project, currently being submitted for inclusion in CNCF, tying together various open source technologies to do just this. It takes the concept of “container-native storage” literally and orchestrates containerized GlusterFS, a scalable, software-defined storage solution to provide object storage, file storage and block storage for your applications. In this session you will learn about the components in play and how they make Kubernetes provide Persistent Storage and S3 Object Storage that scales with the cluster and runs everywhere.
