This presentation discusses the use of local persistent volumes in Kubernetes and the challenges associated with managing them at scale.
- Local PersistentVolumes can be tricky to operate at scale
- Various options for using local volumes are explored
- Important operational gotchas are discussed to ensure proper use of local volumes and stateful workloads
- Persistent volumes have a direct one-to-one relationship with pods in stateful sets
- There is a trade-off between using network-attached volumes and local volumes based on performance and cost
