Efficient Storage Handling for Sandboxed Runtimes in Kubernetes

Explore innovative approaches to persistent storage in containerized environments in this 29-minute conference talk from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe. Delve into the challenges and solutions for efficient storage I/O in sandboxed runtimes like Kata Containers. Learn about the progress made in direct storage assignment and the collaborative efforts with node and storage communities to develop a generic API for efficient storage handling in all sandboxed runtimes. Discover how these advancements can lead to improved I/O performance and enhanced security profiles, moving beyond traditional bind-mount solutions. Gain insights into the tradeoffs between compatibility and performance in container storage, and understand the potential impact of these developments on the future of cloud-native storage solutions.

So, What If I Don’t Want My Persistent Storage To Be Yet Another Bindmount? -Deep Debroy & Feng Wang
