Deep Dive: Rook
summary
Rook deep-dives into architecture and recent work: it orchestrates storage on Kubernetes, runs providers like EdgeFS and Ceph, and exposes S3/S3x plus CSI for file and block. Demo uses a four-node cluster with 1 TB targets, 16 disks and client workloads (128/256 threads). Enabling multi-homed network isolates frontend/backend traffic and yields measured ~30% latency / ~40% bandwidth improvements in the demo. Multi-home support ships in an upcoming release and EdgeFS adds geo-sync, dedupe and local caching.
