Microsoft Azure has announced the preview of the industry's first platform-managed container native storage service called Azure Container Storage, built for and with intrinsic support for containers.
- The software-defined storage solution gives a consistent control plane across multiple backing storage options to meet the needs of stateful container applications.
- Lowering total cost of ownership (TCO), rapid scale-out of stateful pods, and simplified consistent volume management interface are among the differentiated experiences offered by Azure Container Storage.
- It provides an end-to-end storage management and orchestration for stateful applications to run efficiently at scale on Azure.
