Containerized Storage for Containers
Your storage controller is a container that follows around your workloads, very different than Yet Another Scale-out Storage System (“!YASSS”)

Improves EBS & other cloud storage
Runs on top of EBS to improve resiliency, to limit lock-in, and for better integration with Kubernetes

Avoid cloud lock-in
When you write your data to OpenEBS you write to an open source, highly flexible data management layer that allows you to manage your exposure to each cloud or data center

Granular Control
Each workload and hence, each team working on dynamic container based workloads has their own storage, instead of being managed by central storage

Granular monitoring through Prometheus and Grafana

Written in GO
OpenEBS is the only broadly adopted open source block storage written mostly in Go
