How to Validate & Benchmark Kubernetes Storage Options Using Kubestr
Running stateful workloads in the k8s clusters can be a balancing act. From mission-critical databases to large AI data pipelines, the reliability of your applications depends on the reliability of your underlying storage. A major driver for pod restarts, cascading microservice delays, and over-inflated cloud bills is misconfigured or underperforming persistent volumes. What will you do to ensure you have the right provisioning class for your production apps? Enter Kubestr. Kubestr, a lightweight, open-source command-line solution, is developed by Kasten by Veeam and is designed to discover, validate, and benchmark your Kubernetes storage resources. Let's take a closer look at deployment, complex Container Storage Interface (CSI) architectures, and tweaking your benchmark methodology for today's enterprise workloads. What is Kubestr and Why Do You Need It? Kubernetes storage is much more dynamic than traditional Virtual Machine environments, where your storage target is fixed. ...
