Cloud Native Storage - a View of the Landscape, Projects and Technology

The presentation discusses the importance of availability and consistency in stateful applications and the architecture needed to achieve automated disaster recovery.

• Elevating availability to the failure of an entire failure domain
• Considerations around availability versus consistency
• Anatomy of a stateful application and its translation to disaster recovery architectures
• Moving towards autonomous disaster recovery processes
• Overview of CNCF storage projects
• Description of storage system attributes

In the presentation, the speaker discussed how traditional disaster recovery methods rely on human intervention and have recovery time objectives measured in minutes to hours. However, with the implementation of a cloud-native disaster recovery process, autonomous processes can failover across different failure domains, reducing recovery time and recovery point objectives. This requires an architecture that facilitates disaster recovery, including the storage layer, networking, and load balancing capabilities.

This talk will discuss how the CNCF storage SIG in the CNCF operates, identifies projects for Cloud Native admission and where we see the future of storage in the Cloud Native Ecosystem heading.During this session we will cover:- Overview of the SIG, how to join and how to help- Overview of storage projects in the CNCF- Projects that are currently being being reviewedWe will also share updates of our latest work including:- the CNCF Storage Landscape document- the Performance and Benchmarking document- the Cloud Native Disaster Recovery document
