What it does

Rook turns distributed storage systems into self-managing, self-scaling, self-healing storage services. It automates the tasks of a storage administrator: deployment, bootstrapping, configuration, provisioning, scaling, upgrading, migration, disaster recovery, monitoring, and resource management. Rook uses the power of the Kubernetes platform to deliver its services via a Kubernetes Operator for Ceph. Rook orchestrates the Ceph storage solution, with a specialized Kubernetes Operator to automate management. Rook ensures that Ceph will run well on Kubernetes and simplify the deployment and management experience. With hundreds of contributors and millions of downloads of the Rook software,…from rook.io

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
