Kubernetes on OpenStack

Question

We have a private OpenStack infrastructure. We want to create a Kubernetes infra on top of OpenStack. I want to use whatever block storage device we have in OpenStack as a HA storage cluster which can tolerate failures and is highly available as well.

I gather that I can use Glusterfs and achieve this. Is there any other opensource solution available? Any tips? any gotchas?

A quick glance at the documentation will show that Kubernetes supports using OpenStack Cinder for storage, as well as many other provisioners.

Yes but then cinder is not distributed. Its a local storage. I need replication and HA both. – Hussain Nagri Aug 13 '21 at 11:08

It depends on what you're using as the cinder backend. We have great experience with Ceph. – eblock Aug 16 '21 at 06:30
