What is Rook?
Rook is an open source cloud-native storage orchestrator for Kubernetes, providing the platform, framework, and support for Ceph storage to natively integrate with Kubernetes.
Ceph is a distributed storage system that provides file, block and object storage and is deployed in large scale production clusters.
Rook automates deployment and management of Ceph to provide self-managing, self-scaling, and self-healing storage services. The Rook operator does this by building on Kubernetes resources to deploy, configure, provision, scale, upgrade, and monitor Ceph.
