Rook: Intro and Ceph Deep Dive

on YouTube ↗27m

" summary

Rook installs an operator that deploys and manages Ceph (plus NFS, Cassandra, YugaByte) on Kubernetes, automating upgrades, CSI provisioning, and day‑2 ops; v1.6 adds Ceph Pacific support, GA multi‑filesystem and filesystem mirroring, HA mgrs, pod disruption budgets, bulk OSD updates, and less LVM. Object storage uses an object bucket claim and secret credentials; external Ceph clusters are supported. Demo shows a PVC‑based cluster on one node using two local PVs, expanding OSDs from 1 to 2 and capacity from 6GB to 12GB successfully. 215M downloads
