Managing Storage Replication with OpenEBS

In the previous chapter, we looked at two serverless frameworks that are available with MicroK8s, both of which are Kubernetes-based platforms for designing, deploying, and managing modern serverless workloads. We also noticed that the ease with which serverless frameworks can be implemented appears to be tied to the ease with which MicroK8s can be deployed. Some guiding principles to remember when creating and deploying serverless apps were also highlighted. We also realized that we needed to follow best practices to safeguard our resources, apps, and infrastructure service provider accounts.

In this chapter, we will look into the next use case for supporting cloud-native storage solutions, such as OpenEBS, to provide persistent storage for our container applications. Cloud-native storage solutions enable comprehensive storage mechanisms. These solutions mimic the properties of cloud environments, such as scalability, reliability, container...
