Introduction to cloud-native storage

Understand what is needed from a storage system to support containerised workloads in private clouds

When considering a move from a hosted or public container infrastructure solution it is important to think about what you will need from a storage system. Cloud-native application delivery is highly dynamic, and persistent storage tends to be static, what concepts are important to understand to safely bring the two together?

Your own storage system will give you much greater control over its cost, but you will need to consider the storage needs of your users, the access methods of their applications, their performance requirements, and most importantly how to protect the data that your organisation relies on. It sounds complicated, but it doesn’t have to be.
