Building a Storage Cluster with Kubernetes

on YouTube ↗37m

" summary

Deploys Rook (Ceph) as an app inside Kubernetes: a single small rook operator deployment creates third-party resources, boots three Ceph monitors and per-node OSD pods that enumerate devices, expose pools, and run a rook API server. StorageClasses map to pools; PVCs auto-provision 20GB volumes used by WordPress/MySQL in the demo. Operator stays out of the data path, watches cluster state and grows/rebalances when nodes are added. Notes on networking: CNI tweaks are needed to separate client and storage traffic; EBS detach can take up to an hour.
