This post is part of an ongoing series from Catherine Paganini and Jason Morgan that focuses on explaining each category of the cloud native landscape to a non-technical audience as well as engineers just getting started with cloud native. In our previous article, we explored the provisioning layer of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s cloud native landscape which focuses on building the foundation of your cloud native platforms and applications.

And lastly, to benefit from the elasticity of the cloud, storage must be provisioned in an automated fashion as manual provisioning and autoscaling aren’t compatible.

There are a number of tools in this space, both open source and vendor-provided that leverage the CSI to provide on-demand storage to containers. In addition to that extremely important functionality, we have a number of other tools and technologies which aim to solve storage problems in the cloud native space.
