Torus: Focusing Storage for Kubernetes by Barak Michener, CoreOS, Inc.

Torus: Focusing Storage for Kubernetes - Barak Michener, CoreOS, Inc.

"If Kubernetes can orchestrate computation across any cluster, on any cloud, how can we do the same for orchestrating storage? Further, can storage for Kubernetes be easily managed by Kubernetes? CoreOS is attempting to bring solid, free persistence across a cluster through the Torus project, starting as a prototype and being built publicly with the open source community. This talk will discuss:
* The needs of the community around container storage
* The goals and architecture of Torus
* How Torus integrates with Kubernetes FlexVolumes
* Managing Torus using Kubernetes
* What we’d like to see in the future for Kubernetes-native storage"
