Deep Dive: Rook
summary
Rook is a Kubernetes storage orchestrator that ships Rook 1.0 and adds operators for Ceph, Cassandra (alpha), EdgeFS (EdgeFS beta), CockroachDB and more. A Crossplane extension is shown wiring Rook into a multi‑cloud control plane to dynamically provision a Postgres claim as a 3-node Cockroach cluster on bare metal (demo on a laptop), with the cluster created, bound and loaded with data successfully. The demo proves on‑prem dynamic provisioning and operator lifecycle actions like bootstrap, scale and safe decommission.
