Longhorn is a cloud-native distributed block storage solution for Kubernetes, providing an opinionated solution to cover different storage topology, data protection, and data services like snapshots, replication, encryption, backup restore, disaster recovery, etc.

• Longhorn is a reliable and crash-consistent storage solution for Kubernetes clusters
• Longhorn is designed to be easy to use with one-click installation and a polished user interface
• Longhorn is maintainable and easy to recover in worst-case scenarios
• Longhorn provides multiple layers of protection against data loss, including built-in snapshots and efficient backups to external S3 storage
• Longhorn is designed to be highly available and scalable with auto-scaling and separate node pools for control plane, stable set, and transient set

Longhorn's design principles prioritize reliability, usability, and maintainability. Its multiple layers of protection against data loss and efficient backups make it a highly available and scalable storage solution for Kubernetes clusters. Its one-click installation and polished user interface make it easy to use, while its maintainability and easy recovery in worst-case scenarios make it a reliable choice for enterprise environments.

Longhorn is a cloud-native distributed block storage solution for Kubernetes, providing an opinionated solution to cover different storage topology, data protection, and data services like snapshots, replication, encryption, backup restore, disaster recovery, etc. In this talk, there will be several parts to have an introduction of Longhorn and have deep-dive discussions to talk about the technical details, the recent release, and future plans. Longhorn was accepted as an incubating project by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation in November 2021.Click here to view captioning/translation in the MeetingPlay platform!
