Summary
In this chapter, we learned the stateful application challenges and best practices to consider when choosing the best storage management solutions, both open source and commercial, and finally, the stateful application considerations when deploying them in production using Kubernetes' StatefulSet and deployment objects.
We deployed the AWS EBS CSI driver and OpenEBS. We also created a highly available replicated storage using OpenEBS and deployed our application on OpenEBS volumes.
We gained a solid understanding of Kubernetes storage in this chapter, but you should perform a detailed evaluation of your cluster storage requirements and take further action to deploy any extra tools and configurations that may be required, including your storage provider's CSI driver.
In the next chapter, we will learn in detail about seamless and reliable applications. We will also get to grips with containerization best practices to easily scale our applications.
