CoreOS Announces "Torus" Linux Distributed Storage System

Written by Michael Larabel in Linux Storage on 1 June 2016 at 01:52 PM EDT. Add A Comment

CoreOS today announced Torus, their latest project that sets its sights on being a modern, distributed storage system.

They describe Torus as, "a new open source distributed storage system designed to provide reliable, scalable storage to container clusters orchestrated by Kubernetes, the open source container management system." CoreOS developed Torus since current Linux storage solutions weren't designed to be cloud-native and containers need persistent storage capabilities.

If you are interested in this new open-source distributed storage system for containers, read the announcement in full at CoreOS.com. The code to Torus is available via GitHub.
