Rook: New Winds in the v1.1 release

 

An Article by Alexander Trost, DevOps Engineer at Cloudica, Rook Maintainer

Rook is a storage orchestrator for Kubernetes using the operator pattern.
That means that Rook can run, e.g., Ceph, EdgeFS, Yugabyte and other persistence providers in a Kubernetes cluster.
This allows applications to create, e.g., a YBCluster object to get a YugabyteDB cluster to provide persistence for your applications in Kubernetes.

Be sure to check out Rook’s website Rook.io for more information.
