## Major Themes

Rook v0.5 is a milestone release that improves reliability, adds support for newer versions of Kubernetes, picks up the latest stable release of Ceph (luminous), and makes a number architectural changes that pave the way to getting to Beta and adding support for other storage back-ends beyond Ceph.

## Attention needed

Rook does not yet support upgrading a cluster in place. To upgrade from 0.4 to 0.5 we recommend you tear down your cluster and install Rook 0.5 fresh.

We now publish the rook containers to quay.io and docker hub. Docker hub support multi-arch containers so a simple `docker pull rook/rook` will bring the right images for any of the supported architectures. We will continue to publish quay.io for continuity.

Startup a 3 node Kuberentes cluster.

Run this in a shell to see the whats happening in the cluster:

watch -t -n1 'kubectl get pods -n rook  -o wide && echo && echo && kubectl get pods -o wide && echo && echo && kubectl get pvc'

Title: Kubernetes-based alternatives to EBS block storage in AWS

If you're running a Kubernetes cluster in AWS it's a no brainer to use EBS for persistent pod storage, right? If we introduce another option the answer might not be so obvious.

EBS has a number of issues: its slow for high IOPS workloads even with IOPS-optimized volumes, detaching and re-attaching volumes on pod restarts takes forever and does not work across availability zones, and EBS snapshots are slow and interfere with I/O traffic on the volumes.

In this talk we'll walkthrough how to run Kubernetes on AWS without using EBS. We will bootstrap an independent storage cluster that runs on top of Kubernetes and exposes Persistent Volumes to other pods. The storage cluster will use instance storage on EC2 instances as backing storage. It can take advantage of a new class of instances that are NVMe based for high IOPS workloads. Finally, given that you're already paying for EC2 instances there is a sunk cost argument to leveraging the instance

Taming the complexity of Ceph by running it on Kubernetes

Ceph is awesome! It's open, resilient, scalable, and is powering some of the world's largest OpenStack clusters. Yet despite
its success Ceph remains complex and requires a team of devops ninjas and storage experts to run it successfully.

In this talk we'll walkthrough how to simplify Ceph by running on top of Kubernetes. We'll show how to use
the power of Kubernetes to effectively deploy, manage, scale, and failover production-ready Ceph clusters. We introduce
a new "operator" for Ceph that deeply integrates with the Kubernetes API and automates the management of Ceph.

Title: Building a Storage Cluster with Kubernetes

Modern software storage systems are inherently complex. They are composed of numerous distributed components, require
careful balancing of resources, and have stringent performance requirements. If you're running your applications in a 
public cloud you're typically shielded from this complexity and can utilize managed storage services like EBS, S3 and EFS.
If you're running on-premise, however, your choices are quite limited and typically result in using traditional big-iron
storage systems.

In this talk we'll walkthrough how we've built a production-ready storage cluster using Kubernetes. Storage nodes run as
pods and enumerate the available storage devices within the cluster. We'll explore how to optimize the network through

Rook: Kubernetes-native file, block and object storage

Kubernetes is desperately missing native persistent storage. Storage is the third leg of the stool
and just like compute and networking it needs to be integrated into Kubernetes. If you're running Kuberentes in 
public clouds you can rely on block and object storage albeit in non-portable ways. If you're running on-premise
your choices are limited and frequently fallback to traditional storage systems.

Rook is an open-source storage project that exposes block, file and object storage to Kuberentes Pods. Rook itself 
runs as a pod and uses the full power of Kubernetes to ensure that data is reliably stored, and that pods are 
getting high performance access to data. While Rook is a new project, its based on an embedded version of Ceph
