Introducing Rook

on YouTube ↗55m

" summary

Rook automates running Ceph inside Kubernetes by deploying an operator plus node agents to manage OSDs, monitors (typically 3 monitors), gateways and MDS, using Ceph’s CRUSH and placement groups for placement and recovery. It exposes storage via CSI or legacy Flex, dynamically provisions PersistentVolumes, boots an S3-compatible object store with configurable replication (commonly 3x), and provides a dashboard and toolbox; Ceph is mature, Rook is newer and nearing production readiness.
