OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) offers many different types of persistent storage. Persistent storage ensures that data should be insistent between builds and container migrations. When choosing a persistent storage backend to ensure that the backend supports the scaling, speed, dynamic provisioning, RWX/RWO support and redundancy that the project requires. Container-Ready Storage (CRS), or native Gluster for OCP, is defined by the concept of persistent volumes, which are OCP created objects that allow storage to be defined and then used by pods to allow for data persistence.
