The Rook project will be introduced to attendees of all levels and experience. Rook is an open source cloud-native storage operator for Kubernetes, providing the platform, framework, and support for Ceph to natively integrate with Kubernetes. The panel will discuss various scenarios to show how Rook configures Ceph to provide stable block, shared file system, and object storage for your production data. Rook was accepted as a graduated project by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation in October 2020.

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.

The presentation demonstrates how to create a simple Rook Safe cluster using Kubernetes and explains the two types of Rook Safe clusters: host-based and PVC-based.
  • Rook Safe clusters can be created using Kubernetes
  • There are two types of Rook Safe clusters: host-based and PVC-based
  • Host-based clusters are suitable for simple clusters where all nodes and devices are used for a Rook sequencer
  • PVC-based clusters are hardware configuration-free and require only two fields: count and volume claim templates
  • PBG-based clusters are easy to expand by increasing the count field
  • Advanced configurations include creating OSDs on demand and even OSD splitting among all nodes

This conference presentation discusses the various storage systems available to Kubernetes and provides tools to evaluate which system to use based on factors such as performance, reliability, sustainability, and cost.
  • Storage is a complex topic in Kubernetes
  • There are many storage systems available to Kubernetes
  • Evaluating which system to use depends on factors such as performance, reliability, sustainability, and cost
  • Tools are provided to help make the choice
  • An anecdote about a bidding war in a storage unit is used to introduce the topic

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. The Longhorn team is working on a new data plane backend for block storage to improve performance. SPDK is an open source, high performance development kit for storage applications. Longhorn’s engine component is being rewritten to take advantage of SPDK’s architecture to improve the performance. SPDK will simplify the architecture of Longhorn and make it more scalable. This presentation will go over the new architecture, some preliminary performance data, and areas of future growth. Longhorn was accepted as an incubating project by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation in November 2021.

KubeVirt makes it possible to run traditional Virtual Machine workloads in a Kubernetes cluster. Since VMs are typically stateful and not as homogeneous as containerized applications, additional care must be given to ensure that VM state is properly initialized, managed, and protected. We will explore how the KubeVirt storage layer bridges the gap between QEMU/KVM Virtual Machines and K8s storage primitives to provide a feature-rich API that manages data for the entire lifecycle of a VM. We will discuss how new VMs can be created with pre-populated disks based on “golden images” and how running Virtual Machines can be safely snapshotted/restored. Disaster Recovery workflows are enabled by the VirtualMachineExport API as well as integration with Velero. Future initiatives, such as Volume Populator support will also be discussed. You will come away with enough of a high level understanding of the KubeVirt storage APIs and architecture to make meaningful contributions.

Vitess is a cloud-native storage solution that provides horizontal scaling of MySQL. In this session we will cover the high level architecture and the feature set offered including the ease of database management. We will showcase its compatibility with the popular web framework Rails and will demo how to bring up Vitess with Rails using the Kubernetes operator. Realizing the need to scale out already running applications, we will also demonstrate how to scale out an existing database running on AWS RDS/Aurora using Vitess.Click here to view captioning/translation in the MeetingPlay platform!
