What You Need to Know Before Using Local Persistent Volumes - Sebastien Guilloux, Elastic

As Kubernetes matures, it becomes easier to run distributed databases and other stateful workloads on top of it. In order to do so, one important thing to figure out is how to manage persistent data. Local PersistentVolumes, as opposed to network-attached ones, can be particularly tricky to operate at scale. In this talk we will explore various options to make use of local volumes, along with a few important gotchas to be aware of. Come learn about static vs. dynamic provisioning, storage-aware scheduling problems, host failures, upgrades, and why your Pods may stay stuck in a Pending state.
