Alauda Container Platform

Overview

Alauda Container Platform documents three storage systems. Choose one based on how volumes are provisioned and whether data must survive a node failure.

Do not use Local Storage and LVM Storage as interchangeable names. Local Storage is the static local-disk provisioner. LVM Storage is the TopoLVM-based dynamic provisioner.
