Cloud Native Storage and Databases
Cloud Native Storage and Databases Cloud native storage is built for containers and dynamic environments. It aims to provide durable, scalable storage that can be provisioned on demand and survive pod restarts. In Kubernetes, you interact with PersistentVolumes, StorageClasses, and CSI drivers to attach storage to apps. For databases, storage is not just capacity; it is the backbone of durability and performance. Different storage types fit different needs. Block storage is fast and predictable, often used for data files and logs. File storage supports shared access, which is handy for certain workloads. Object storage scales cheaply for backups and archives. When you run databases in a cloud-native setup, you want strong durability, snapshots, and fast recovery. Look for features like cross‑zone replication, encryption, and access controls. ...
