Rook: Why Would You Ever Deploy Ceph Inside Kubernetes?

on YouTube ↗12m

" summary

Rook deploys Ceph inside Kubernetes by implementing an operator + CRDs to express desired state, using the CSI driver for mounts and managing Ceph as the data layer. The project declares stable since Dec 2018 and runs in production at scale — example users report a 3 PB cluster with 237 OSDs and hundreds-of-node clusters. Rook targets bare metal and cloud (EBS-backed OSDs), avoids cloud PV limits, automates setup, monitoring, config, and allows independent updates of management and data planes.
