Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage (RHOCS) is software-defined storage optimized for container environments that addresses challenges around platform services, application portability, and persistence. It uses Red Hat Ceph Storage, the Rook.io operator, and NooBaa's Multicloud Object Gateway technology. RHOCS provides simplified deployment and management of storage and allows applications and storage to run on the same or different nodes in an OpenShift cluster, or to connect multiple OpenShift clusters to an external Ceph storage cluster. The presentation demonstrated a proof-of-concept using an external Red Hat Ceph storage cluster with OpenShift Container Platform 4.6.
