# Rook
|
|
|
|
Rook is an open source **cloud-native storage orchestrator**, providing the platform, framework, and support for a diverse set of storage solutions to natively integrate with cloud-native environments.
|
|
|
|
Rook turns storage software into self-managing, self-scaling, and self-healing storage services. It does this by automating deployment, bootstrapping, configuration, provisioning, scaling, upgrading, migration, disaster recovery, monitoring, and resource management. Rook uses the facilities provided by the underlying cloud-native container management, scheduling and orchestration platform to perform its duties.
|
|
|
|
Rook integrates deeply into cloud native environments leveraging extension points and providing a seamless experience for scheduling, lifecycle management, resource management, security, monitoring, and user experience.
|
|
|
|
The Ceph operator was declared stable in December 2018 in the Rook v0.9 release, providing a production storage platform for several years already.
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start Guide
|
|
|
|
Starting Ceph in your cluster is as simple as a few `kubectl` commands.
