Intro: Rook
summary
Rook is a cloud‑native storage orchestrator that deploys Ceph (and now MinIO, CockroachDB, etc.) as Kubernetes operators, automating bootstrap, provisioning, scaling, upgrades and recovery. Demo on Minikube shows a Ceph cluster with 3 monitors created from one YAML, a MySQL+WordPress app using Ceph block volumes, the MySQL pod killed and restarted with data intact because Rook creates block volumes and reattaches after pod failover. Project is CNCF incubating, operators not on the data path so performance matches native storage.
