What is Kubernetes storage?

While Kubernetes excels at managing containers, containers themselves are short-lived by design, and Kubernetes applications need a place to store data long term. Because containers are frequently provisioned and updated, Kubernetes applications need storage that is container- and application-aware, but still provides the backup, recovery, and management capabilities of traditional applications.

People also ask:

1. How do you backup a Kubernetes application?

Unlike traditional applications that can be backed up using server-based snapshots, Kubernetes applications comprise multiple components—containers, pods, volumes, configuration—that are spread across a cluster of servers.  As a result, all these components must be backed up together in order to facilitate fast recovery.

2. Can I use Kubernetes storage and data management with virtual machines?

Today, Kubernetes platforms like Red Hat OpenShift make it possible to manage containers alongside virtual machines with the same, unified operating model. Kubernetes storage and data management solutions integrated tightly with these platforms enable data agility across both containers and VMs.

3. What does Portworx bring to Pure Storage?

Portworx is a Kubernetes data-services platform designed to provide persistent storage, data protection, disaster recovery, and other capabilities for containerized applications. While Portworx was designed from the bottom up to run on any storage platform, the massively parallel and high-performing all-flash storage solutions from Pure Storage are the perfect hardware counterpart for your Kubernetes-powered apps. Together, Pure Storage and Portworx provide a complete data storage infrastructure solution.

“At the end of the day, what we are talking about is enablement of developers and velocity of delivering services at a particular price point and at a particular quality. . . There's hardly anything we can do in Kubernetes without having persistent storage and that is what has brought us together with Portworx.”
