Read-Write-Many Persistent Volumes with vSAN 7 File Services - CormacHogan.com
I hope this gives you a pretty good idea about how vSAN File Services can be used for both traditional virtual machine workloads as well as newer containerized workloads. We saw how file shares on vSAN can be dynamically provisioned as persistent volumes, along with a storage class that reflects the desired availability and performance of the volume through storage policies. We also saw some neat UI enhancements although I haven't shown them all in this post. The main take-away is that is doesn't matter if a developer is using block based RWO volume or file based RWX volumes provisioned from vSAN, the vSphere administrator has full visibility into how the developer is consuming vSphere storage. This allows good communication to develop between a vSphere Administrator and the Kubernetes persona, whether than is developer or admin. Either way, this is enabling a culture of Dev-Ops to happen in the organization.
