Intro - Rook

Explore the Rook project, an open-source cloud-native storage orchestrator for Kubernetes, in this 37-minute conference talk by Jared Watts from Upbound. Learn about Rook's capabilities in automating deployment, configuration, scaling, and management of storage solutions in cloud-native environments. Discover how Rook transforms storage software into self-managing, self-scaling, and self-healing services. Delve into the project's architecture, benefits, and use cases, including its acceptance as the first storage project hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Follow along with a practical demonstration using MiniCube, covering cluster creation, health checks, and deploying applications like WordPress with Rook-managed storage. Gain insights into Rook's performance, network capabilities, stability, and high availability features. Understand how to get involved with the project and explore related topics in Kubernetes storage orchestration.
