Most of the people thinking about opensource they think in my perspective mostly to Red Hat and other company rather than IBM. IBM is really active in opensource for a long time, helped Apache Foundation , Eclipse Foudation collaborate with the Linux Foundation and Red Hat as well. I think I can create a different long post to describe how is active and how helped opensource in different way. We can analyze  this acquisition from different perspective, from Financial to  Development. My personal point of view ( from a Cloud Architect ) most of the application around the world in banking, assurance and not only are java based, think about java in cloud in the past Year could be hard. Right now we can talk about java in the cloud with opensource project like OpenJ9 and OpenLiberty and the community behind.

Kubernetes Persistent Volumes and Claims

In a distrubuted system, storage isn't simple to manage without a good abstraction, kubernetes offer an object called persistent volume to let pod to reclaim storage for persisting data. In the pod definition you can define your volume type with another object called persistentVolumeClaim where you can define type size and many other things. There are different phase in the persistent storage lifecycle: Provisioning : when an administrator create a Persistent Volume or a cloud resource dynamically request Binding : when a PVC is created  k8s control loop watch if there are Persisten Volume matching the PVC  and bind them together. Use : when the bound volume is mounted in to the pod Releasing : whene the POD is done and an API request is sent to delete the related bound PVC, the volume in this stage remains Reclaim : there are three options related to this state: - Retain:  keep data interact and allow an administrato to handle data from storage - Delete:  tells the volume
