Rook

Deploy and operate Ceph storage on Kubernetes with declarative, operator-driven lifecycle management.

Why Rook

Bring storage operations into Kubernetes.

Rook provides Kubernetes-native orchestration for distributed storage systems such as Ceph. We help teams deploy, integrate and troubleshoot Rook-managed Ceph environments as part of Kubernetes and OpenShift platforms.

01

Kubernetes Native

Manage storage infrastructure through Kubernetes resources, controllers and declarative configuration.

02

Ceph Orchestration

Automate the deployment and management of Ceph components through the Rook operator.

03

Storage Lifecycle

Manage storage configuration and lifecycle changes using Kubernetes-native operational patterns.

04

Persistent Storage

Expose Ceph-backed block and file storage to Kubernetes workloads through CSI integration.

05

Platform Integration

Integrate distributed storage directly into the Kubernetes platform and its application delivery model.

06

Operational Visibility

Combine Kubernetes and Ceph operational signals to troubleshoot storage from the workload down to the underlying cluster.

Rook Services

Kubernetes-native Ceph engineering.

We support Rook-managed Ceph across architecture, deployment, storage integration, troubleshooting and day-two operations.
