OpenShift Commons Briefing #67: GlusterFS and OpenShift (Tech Preview)
Channel: OpenShift
Date: 2017-03-13

Learn how running a storage platform in Kubernetes pods is a game-changer not just for storage administrators but for application developers as well. This ground-breaking technology runs containerized Gluster (a mature distributed open source storage platform) inside Kubernetes and on Red Hat’s OpenShift Container Platform as a completely integrated solution, aggregating storage form local hosts (Kubernetes worker nodes) and serving it out to application containers. This solution integrates a fully-featured enterprise-grade storage platform with a wide variety of data services including snapshots, geo-replication, tiering, cloning, encryption; runs storage and compute containers on the same set of nodes, all provisioned, scaled and upgraded using Kubernetes. The Briefing will feature a demo and a detailed roadmap for this solution.
