Deep Dive: Rook
summary
Rook is an orchestrator framework that deploys storage operators like Ceph and EdgeFS into Kubernetes, discovers raw disks, and automates bootstrap, upgrades and replication; a four-node demo (4 TB targets, 2 MB S3 objects, three replicas, 6 TB random I/O) shows a multi-homed network yields about a 30% latency improvement and roughly 40% higher bandwidth versus a single pod network; EdgeFS exposes S3 and an S3X POSIX-like extension, supports metadata-only cross-cloud sync and runs embedded (≈1 GB RAM, 2 vCPUs).
