Data Without Borders - Using Rook Storage Orchestration at a Global Scale
summary
Rook acts as a Kubernetes control plane for storage, deploying Ceph, EdgeFS and CockroachDB across clusters and declaring Ceph production-ready around 1.0; demo wires two EKS clusters via EdgeFS inter-site gateway, an S3 gateway plus Lambda to copy objects, showing eventual-consistent mirroring with a configurable batching delay. Crossplane and KubeFed are mentioned as multi-cluster control planes; Rook now has 150+ contributors and runs as a CNCF-incubating project.
