Rook: Introduction and Deep Dive with Ceph Storage - Kubernetes Cloud-Native Storage

Explore an in-depth introduction and deep dive into Rook with Ceph Storage in this 26-minute conference talk from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon. Learn about cloud-native storage challenges in Kubernetes and discover how Rook, an open-source cloud-native storage operator, provides a platform for Ceph to integrate natively with Kubernetes. Gain insights into Rook's architecture, resources, and its role in managing Ceph storage. Understand Ceph's data path, installation process, and CSI driver features. Explore Rook's capabilities in cloud environments, automated updates, and integration with external Ceph clusters. Dive into recent features from the v1.9 release, including Ceph Quincy support, CSI driver updates, NFS provisioning, and network enhancements. Learn about host-based and PVC-based Rook/Ceph clusters, and discover how to create, expand, and manage Ceph clusters using Rook.
