Kubernetes applications are increasingly making their way to the edge and embedded computing. Storage will quickly follow as the applications that rely on this edge infrastructure become more advanced and naturally carry more state. According to a study by McKinsey and Company, a “connected car” processes up to 25GB of data per hour. Granted not all the data needs to persist, but as engineers add more analytics and processing systems to our cars, the amount of data that we want to retain will only increase.
