OpenStorage is a clustered implementation of the Open Storage specification and relies on the Docker runtime. It allows you to run stateful services in Linux Containers in a multi-host environment. It plugs into CSI and Docker volumes to provide storage to a container and plugs into Kubernetes and Mesosphere to operate in a clustered environment.
When you install openstorage on a Linux host, you will automatically get a stateful storage layer that integrates with CSI or the Docker runtime and operates in a multi host environment. It starts an Open Storage Daemon - OSD that currently supports CSI and DVDI and will support any Linux container runtime that conforms to the OCI.
OSD will work with any distributed scheduler that is compatible with the CSI or Docker remote API
Container Storage Interface is the standard way for a container orchestrator such as Kubernetes or Mesosphere to communicate with a storage provider. OSD provides a CSI implementation to provision storage volumes to a container on behalf of any third party OSD driver and ensures the volumes are available in a multi host environment.
OSD integrates with Docker Volumes and provisions storage to a container on behalf of any third party OSD driver and ensures the volumes are available in a multi host environment.
