Keep Persistent Volumes Healthy for Stateful Workloads

Explore the critical aspects of maintaining healthy persistent volumes for stateful workloads in Kubernetes in this informative conference talk. Learn about the challenges faced when migrating stateful workloads to Kubernetes platforms and the importance of persistent volumes for data storage. Discover how Kubernetes detects and alerts users to storage issues through the volume health monitoring feature. Examine the current capabilities of this feature and the ongoing efforts to enhance it for automatic problem correction. Gain insights into potential storage system issues, such as accidental volume deletion, disk failures, and performance degradation. Understand the limitations of manual problem-fixing and the potential benefits of automated correction mechanisms. Delve into the speakers' expertise from VMware and ByteDance as they discuss the future of volume health monitoring in Kubernetes.
