The Cloud Native Computing Foundation, which houses the open-source Kubernetes project and other cloud-native technology initiatives, said today that Rook has become its latest project to graduate.
Rook is an open-source, cloud-native storage orchestrator for Kubernetes, which is used to manage large clusters of containers that house the components of modern applications. It’s designed to make cloud-native Kubernetes clusters and the applications and services running inside them more self-sufficient and portable, by providing persistent block, file and object storage. Rook does this by taking traditional storage systems such as Ceph and transforming them into cloud-native services that run on top of Kubernetes.
