Open-Source Storage

8 entries

Community storage projects for Kubernetes.

01OpenEBSBuilds on Kubernetes to enable stateful applications to easily access Dynamic Local PVs or Replicated PVs — the most widely deployed open-source storage solution for Kubernetes with a per-workload storage approach. 02RookOpen-source, cloud-native storage orchestrator for Kubernetes delivering production-ready management for File, Block and Object Storage — turns distributed storage systems like Ceph into self-managing, self-scaling services. 03Longhorn (Rancher)Delivers a powerful cloud-native distributed storage platform for Kubernetes that can run anywhere — provides persistent block storage with built-in snapshots, backup, and disaster recovery capabilities. 04CephA unified, distributed storage system designed for excellent performance, reliability, and scalability — supports block, object (S3-compatible), and file storage in a single platform with no single point of failure. 05GlusterFSA scalable network filesystem using common off-the-shelf hardware — creates large, distributed storage solutions for media streaming, data analysis, and other data- and bandwidth-intensive tasks at petabyte scale. Note: Red Hat ended commercial Gluster Storage support at the end of 2024 and upstream development is now minimal, so consider Ceph or Longhorn for new deployments. 06LINSTORSoftware-defined block storage for Kubernetes from LINBIT. 07SeaweedFSDistributed storage system for blobs, files and objects. GitHub lists 4.50 as the latest release, from October 2026. 08JuiceFSDistributed POSIX file system built on object storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cloud-native storage?

Storage that is provisioned and managed through Kubernetes APIs, usually software-defined and distributed, so stateful applications get persistent volumes that follow their pods.

What is CSI?

The Container Storage Interface is the standard that lets storage vendors write one driver that works across Kubernetes and other orchestrators.

Which should I choose?

Rook with Ceph and Longhorn are popular open-source choices for block, file and object storage. Commercial products add support, data services and enterprise integrations.

Which entries changed?

Portworx now appears under the Everpure name, from the page it links to. Ionir's status was not rechecked.

Are the links checked?

Links were checked when this page was updated and all of them loaded.

Which storage and data projects are CNCF graduated?

Rook, CubeFS, TiKV and Vitess are on the CNCF graduated list in October 2026.
