As an increasing number of enterprises are operating databases and middleware on Kubernetes, the need for persistent storage solutions is also on the rise. But before jumping into selecting a specific product, it's worth considering a few important questions upfront:

• Which storage approach (e.g., local disk, NAS, enterprise storage, cloud-native storage) is more suitable for Kubernetes?
• Can enterprises use existing storage products for Kubernetes?
• Is “persistent storage” the same as “cloud-native storage” and “Kubernetes-native storage”?
• Is there any performance test or use case of different persistent storage solutions to refer to?

In our latest eBook Persistent Storage for Kubernetes: An In-depth Guide, we provide detailed information about Kubernetes persistent storage including concept explanations, solution/approach comparisons, product comparisons, and case references.
