Platform leaders are in a constant tug of war with expectations versus reality. You need to enforce enterprise-grade storage policies, but you also want to give developers the fast self-service experience they demand. Bridging that gap often means tedious manual work that may not deliver a seamless experience. What if you could extend your central storage policies directly into Kubernetes automatically
00:23
without getting in the way of developers? The new integration between Portworx by Pure Storage and Pure Fusion does exactly that by making your storage blueprints natively usable for containers. It connects the powerful policy management of Fusion Control Plane with the cloud-native Portworx data plane, creating a seamless, automated, and truly enterprise-grade storage
00:48
experience for your modern applications. In the past, platform admins had to meticulously map their Pure Storage fleet into Kubernetes as part of Portworx's pure.yaml config. With this integration, those days of manually updating your Pure Storage arrays and blades into Kubernetes are over.
01:05
When an array is added or removed from your Fusion fleet, the changes are reflected in your Portworx enabled Kubernetes clusters. No more manual updates, no more configuration drift. But discovery is just the beginning. The real power is how we handle policy.
01:21
As you may know, Pure Fusion allows you to create presets, reusable templates that define QoS, replication, and other volume attributes. And if you're not familiar, then go check out our Fusion Deep Dive videos on PO360. Portworx's Fusion Controller automatically makes these presets available within Kubernetes as native objects. This means cloud-native developers can
01:43
provision storage using standard Kubernetes storage class workflows that they already know. For complex applications, they can define a Fusion workload object. Either way, the Portworx Fusion Controller will automatically create compliant container volumes ready to be consumed via Helm or StatefulSets. You get a simple cloud-native workflow and peace of mind knowing that governance is
02:02
automatically enforced. So with an entire fleet available, how do you ensure each application's data lands on the right backend? This is intelligently handled using Pure Fusion. Prior to PVC creation, the Port Controller works with Pure Fusion for AI-driven placement, creating the volumes at the best location, optimizing for capacity as well as performance.
02:25
Fusion analyses the entire fleet and provisions the volumes on the designated array, which the Portals controller then utilizes to orchestrate further container storage interactions. This is true policy-driven placement guaranteeing every volume is deployed optimally and in full compliance without any manual interference. So bring enterprise-grade storage policies
