Open-Local is a local disk management system composed of multiple components. With Open-Local, using local storage in Kubernetes will be as simple as centralized storage.
- Local storage pool management
- Dynamic volume provisioning
- Extended scheduler
- Volume expansion
- Volume snapshot
- Volume metrics
- Raw block volume
- IO Throttling(direct-io only)
- Ephemeral inline volume

Open-Localcontains four types of components:
- Scheduler extender: as an extended component of Kubernetes Scheduler, adding local storage scheduling algorithm
- CSI plugins: providing the ability to create/delete volume, expand volume and take snapshots of the volume
- Agent: running on each node in the K8s cluster, initializing the storage device according to the configuration list, and reporting local storage device information for Scheduler extender
- Controller: getting the cluster initial configuration of the storage and deliver a detailed configuration list to Agents running on each node
Open-Local also includes a monitoring dashboard:
Open-Local has been widely used in production environments, and currently used products include:
- ACK Distro
- Alibaba Cloud ECP (Enterprise Container Platform)
- Alibaba Cloud ADP (Cloud-Native Application Delivery Platform)
- CNStack Products
- AntStack Plus Products

Before adopting open-local in production, k8s users usually want to know use cases for open-local.
Please send us PR to update Use Cases with company, use case and since for wider adoption.
