Open Source Summit Europe 2025

As the modern applications running on Kubernetes become more dynamic, a reliable stateful storage becomes essential. These applications don’t just need storage; they need it to be fast, intelligent, and cost-effective. 
With so many open source tools available—like Rook-Ceph, NooBaa, and Longhorn—how do you pick the right one? And once you do, how do you make sure it’s reliable and doesn’t break the budget?

In this session, we’ll discuss how one can use open storage in Kubernetes—what works well, what causes problems, and how to avoid common mistakes. We’ll cover storage for different use cases (like block, file, and object), and talk about features like dynamic provisioning, snapshots, and scaling.

Whether you're a developer, architect, or admin, this session will help you understand how to choose, deploy, and manage open source storage in Kubernetes.
