With the adoption of more diverse workloads and applications in containers, demands for enhanced features become clear. Some of these features are related to the persistent storage of the contents the applications consume.In this talks, Niels will go through some of the expectations that a Kubernetes application like KubeVirt has from a storage environment. This includes a scalable approach to cloning new virtual machines from template disk images. While just copying the data from one PVC or volume to an other is possibly, this is not very efficient.This particular journey towards efficiently cloning disk images is driven by KubeVirts Containerized-Data-Importer project, with stops at Kubernetes Storage Provisioners and Linux kernel filesystems on a solid Gluster road.
