Rook, with Jared Watts
Rook (https://rook.io) is a cloud native storage orchestrator and a controller for storage systems such as Ceph (https://ceph.com/) . Jared Watts has been working on Rook since the start, first at Quantum, and then at Upbound. He talks to Craig and Adam (https://kubernetespodcast.com/about) about storage, chess, and premium-rate telephone numbers.
