The presentation discusses the use of Multus in Rook-Ceph to better utilize host network interfaces for Ceph Public and Cluster Networks, and the benefits of having dedicated networks for storage.
- Kubernetes presents challenges for storage due to reliance on external storage and lack of portability
- Rook-Ceph is an open source storage operator for Kubernetes that provides persistent storage from within the cluster
- Ceph is a distributed storage software solution that is scalable and provides multiple storage interfaces
- Multus allows for the use of multiple network interfaces on pods, and IP address management for a smoother deployment experience
- Dedicated networks for storage boost performance
- The presentation includes a demo of a running cluster utilizing Multus networks and a comparison of performance with and without Multus
