REX-Ray is a container storage orchestration engine enabling persistence for cloud-native workloads. The long-term goal of the REX-Ray project is to enable collaboration between organizations focused on creating enterprise-grade storage plugins for the Container Storage Interface (CSI). As a rapidly changing specification, CSI support within REX-Ray will be planned when CSI reaches version 1.0, currently projected for a late 2018 release. In the interim, there remains active engagement with the project to support the community. REX-Ray provides a vendor-agnostic storage orchestration engine. The primary design goal is to provide persistent storage for Docker, Kubernetes, and Mesos. It is additionally available as a Go package, CLI tool, and Linux service which enables it to be used for additional use cases.
Features
- REX-Ray is available as a standalone process today and as a distributed model of client-server
- The client performs a level abstraction of local host processes
- While the server provides the necessary abstraction of the control plane for multiple storage platforms
- REX-Ray can be run as an interactive CLI to perform volume management capabilities
- Additionally, it can be run as a service to support Docker, Mesos, and other platforms that can communicate through HTTP/JSON
- Starting with Docker 1.13, Docker now supports a new plugin architecture in which plugins can be installed as containers
