2 .What is Rook? ● Cloud-Native Storage Orchestrator ● Extends Kubernetes with custom types and controllers ● Automates deployment, bootstrapping, configuration, provisioning, scaling, upgrading, migration, disaster recovery, monitoring, and resource management ● Framework for many storage providers and solutions ● Open Source (Apache 2.0) ● Hosted by the Cloud-Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) 

3 .Storage for Kubernetes ● Volume plugins allow external storage solutions to provide storage to your apps 

4 .Limitations ● Not portable: requires these services to be accessible ● Deployment burden of external solutions ● Vendor lock-in due to using provider managed services 

5 .Storage ON Kubernetes ● Kubernetes can manage our storage solution ● Highly portable applications (including storage dependencies) ● Dedicated K8s storage cluster also possible 

6 .Operator Pattern ● Codifies domain expertise to deploy and manage an application ○ Automates actions a human would normally do ● Control loop that reconciles user’s desired state and the actual system state ○ Observe - discover current actual state of cluster ○ Analyze - determine differences from desired state ○ Act - perform operations to drive actual towards desired 

7 .Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) ● Teaches Kubernetes about new first-class objects ● Custom Resource Definition (CRDs) are arbitrary types that extend the Kubernetes API ○ look just like any other built-in object (e.g. Pod) ○ Enabled native kubectl experience ● A means for user to describe their desired state 

8 . Rook Operators ● Implements the Operator Pattern for storage solutions ● Defines desired state for the storage cluster ○ Storage Cluster, Pool, Object Store, etc. ● The Operator runs reconciliation loops ○ Watches for changes in desired state ○ Watches for changes in the cluster ○ Applies changes to the cluster to make it match desired 

9 .Rook Operators ● The Operators leverages the full power of K8S ○ Services, ReplicaSets, DaemonSets, Secrets, … ● Contain all the logic to manage storage systems at scale ○ Handle stateful upgrades ○ Handle rebalancing the cluster ○ Handle health and monitoring tasks ● Not on the data path – can be offline for minutes

12 .Rook Framework for Storage Solutions ● Rook is more than just a collection of Operators and CRDs ● Framework for storage providers to integrate their solutions into cloud-native environments ○ Storage resource normalization ○ Operator patterns/plumbing ○ Common policies, specs, logic ○ Testing effort ● Ceph, CockroachDB, Minio, NFS, Cassandra, Nexenta, and more...
