Sheng Yang, Software Architect at Rancher Labs discusses the importance of Kubernetes in Project Longhorn during Cloud Native Live 2019.

When it comes to cloud-native and container-ready storage, most industry discussions focus on how to make existing storage systems work with Kubernetes. But containers themselves can enable more elegant solutions. In Project Longhorn, a microservices-based cloud-native block storage solution, Kubernetes is an integral part of the system, enabling lower complexity and better availability. Sheng Yang will discuss how Longhorn utilizes Kubernetes to implement a distributed block storage system.
