What’s Rook? Rook is an open source orchestrator for distributed storage systems running in Kubernetes.

With Rook running in the Kubernetes cluster, Kubernetes applications can mount block devices and filesystems managed by Rook, or can use the S3/Swift API for object storage. The Rook operator automates configuration of storage components and monitors the cluster to ensure the storage remains available and healthy.

Tim Serewicz, a senior instructor for the Linux Foundation, explains what Rook is and how to quickly get it running with Ceph as a storage provider. He details how to use the storage with PVCs and pods. Tim also explains what ReadOnlyOnce really means.
