It serves as a multi-protocol storage provider, offering block, file, and object storage capabilities to containerized workloads. The system focuses on providing a self-healing storage cluster that replicates data across hardware nodes to maintain availability and recover from failures. It uses an operator-led model to handle the installation, scaling, and upgrades of storage nodes and daemons. The orchestrator covers a broad range of provisioning services, including high-performance read-write-once block volumes, scalable object stores, and shared network filesystems. It also includes administrative tools for cluster state troubleshooting and metrics collection to monitor storage health. ## Tags ### DevOps & Infrastructure - [Kubernetes Storage Orchestration](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/devops-infrastructure/kubernetes-cluster-management/multi-cluster-orchestrators/kubernetes-storage-orchestration.md) — Automates the deployment and management of distributed storage clusters within Kubernetes to provide self-healing data services. - [Multi-Protocol Storage Orchestration](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/devops-infrastructure/multi-protocol-storage-orchestration.md) — Provides a unified orchestrator for deploying and managing block, file, and object storage across large scale production environments.
