New features include StorageOS Data Locality for improved performance and StorageOS Shared File for increased adoption of containerization
KubeCon, San Diego, November 18, 2019 - StorageOS, a leading
provider of cloud-native, software-defined, persistent storage for containers,
today announced the release of version 1.5. The latest version includes new
features that significantly improve performance for applications under certain
workloads. StorageOS is built for developers so they can run any stateful application
on any infrastructure.
StorageOS v1.5 now includes:
• StorageOS Data Locality influences the Kubernetes
scheduler to put applications next to the volume. It includes a mutating
admission controller that provides Kubernetes users an integrated solution for
data locality. Users benefit from the ability to co-locate applications with
the volumes they consume, avoiding network roundtrips for performance-sensitive
workloads.
• StorageOS Shared File allows a filesystem to be shared by
multiple containers. Referred to by Kubernetes as ReadWriteMany (RWX), this is
useful for horizontally scaling certain classes of application and other
workloads which require coordination via a shared filesystem.
• Read performance enhancements for substantially faster
application performance.
“In traditional environments, solving state was done at the
infrastructure layer,” said Alex Chircop, CTO of StorageOS. “Modern cloud-native environments still need state. The onus is now on the developer to
select the storage that is application-aware and enhances application performance.
StorageOS v1.5 is built for developers to deliver the storage for their
applications without needing to define topology or understand complex storage
infrastructure.”
StorageOS v1.5 is available now. Users can get it for free up to 500GB of storage. KubeCon San Diego attendees can meet with StorageOS at booth S52 to see a demo and meet the team. Learn more at storageos.com.
