Open-Local is a local disk management system composed of multiple components. With Open-Local, using local storage in Kubernetes will be as simple as centralized storage.

Features

  • Local storage pool management
  • Dynamic volume provisioning
  • Extended scheduler
  • Volume expansion
  • Volume snapshot
  • Volume metrics
  • Raw block volume
  • IO Throttling(direct-io only)
  • Ephemeral inline volume

Open-Localcontains four types of components:

  • Scheduler extender: as an extended component of Kubernetes Scheduler, adding local storage scheduling algorithm
  • CSI plugins: providing the ability to create/delete volume, expand volume and take snapshots of the volume
  • Agent: running on each node in the K8s cluster, initializing the storage device according to the configuration list, and reporting local storage device information for Scheduler extender
  • Controller: getting the cluster initial configuration of the storage and deliver a detailed configuration list to Agents running on each node

Open-Local also includes a monitoring dashboard:
