This article introduces five major open‑source storage solutions—OpenEBS, Rook, GlusterFS, Ceph, and LongHorn—explaining how each simplifies persistent data management for Kubernetes workloads while offering features such as replication, self‑healing, and multi‑node scalability.
This guide walks through installing the open‑source cloud‑native storage orchestrator Rook, creating a Ceph cluster on a Kubernetes environment, configuring the Ceph dashboard, deploying the Rook toolbox, and setting up a StorageClass with RBD block storage, including troubleshooting tips and essential commands.
This tutorial walks you through preparing three identical VMs, installing required packages, configuring Rook and Ceph versions, deploying the storage cluster on a Kubernetes 1.20 environment, exposing the Ceph dashboard, and cleaning up the installation, complete with command examples and troubleshooting tips.
This tutorial walks through installing Rook as a cloud‑native storage orchestrator on Kubernetes, deploying the Rook operator, creating a CephCluster CRD, verifying OSD and monitor pods, setting up the Rook toolbox, exposing the Ceph dashboard via a NodePort service, and configuring monitoring and access credentials.
