SHOW: 67SHOW OVERVIEW: Brian talks with Annette Clewett (@aclewett, Senior Architect @RedHat) and Travis Nielsen (@STravisNielsen, Senior Principal Software Engineer @RedHat) about software-defined storage, managing storage with Kubernetes, and how Rook is bringing the Operator model to storage systems like Ceph. SHOW NOTES:Try OpenShift 4 - http://try.openshift.comProject Rook - Storage Orchestration for KubernetesDeep Dive: Rook (video) - KubeCon 2018Ceph on OpenShift with Rook (video) - Commons Gathering 2019Rook Channel on SlackSHOW TOPICS:Topic 1 - Welcome both of you to the show. Before we get into discussing Ceph and Rook, can you tell us about your background around these projects? Topic 2 - One of the most frequent requests we get from listeners is to discuss how to integrate (and manage) storage into OpenShift/Kubernetes environments. Let’s talk about storage needs for OpenShift/Kubernetes infrastructure (masters, logging, monitoring, etc.) vs. storage for applications. Topic 3 - Help us understand the difference between a storage manager like Rook and a storage system like Ceph. Where does one start and the next one stop? Topic 4 - Rook now uses the Operator pattern for managing underlying storage systems. How does the Operator technology help make managing (and lifecycling) storage easier or more robust? Topic 5 - As you talk to users of Ceph and Rook, what are some of the best practices that you’re seeing them implement? FEEDBACK?Email: PodCTL at gmail dot comTwitter: @PodCTLWeb: http://podctl.com
