CNCF Storage TAG Charter

CNCF Storage Landscape Whitepaper

The whitepaper documents the storage landscape by clarifying the terminology used in the storage space including:

  • The attributes of a storage system such that an end-user can understand the appropriate capabilities that might be required by an application or architectural pattern.
  • The layers in a storage solution (or service) with a focus on terminology and how they impact the defined attributes covering the container, orchestrator, transport, topology, virtual/physical, data protection, data services and the non-volatile layers.
  • The data access interfaces in terms of volume (including block, file system and shared file system) and application API (including object, KV and database) as high level groupings.
  • Separate sections with further detail on Block Storage, File systems, Object Storage and Key Value Stores.
  • The management interfaces needed to orchestrate the storage layers to facilitate composability, dynamic provisioning and self service management.

The whitepaper is available here: https://bit.ly/cncf-storage-whitepaperV2

  • Definition of Cloud Native Disaster Recovery (CNDR) including failure domains, HA & DR
  • CAP theorem: Consistency, Availability, Network Partitioning
  • Anatomy of Distributed Stateful workloads: Replicas, Shards, API Layer, Storage Layer
  • Consensus Protocols: Paxos, Raft, 2PC, 3PC
  • CNDR Reference Architectures

Data on Kubernetes Whitepaper - Database Patterns

This document describes patterns of running data on Kubernetes. This is a collaboration between TAG Storage and Data on Kubernetes Community (DoKC). In this version of the whitepaper, we are focusing on database workloads. It covers the following:

  • Attributes of a storage system and how they affect running data in Kubernetes
  • Running data inside vs outside of Kubernetes
  • Common Kubernetes patterns and features used when running data on Kubernetes
  • Observability
  • Security
  • Day 2 operations

The document is available here.
