Hey Joe,

I have an application deployed on k8 and it is in need of some type of fast persistent storage to function fully.

To me it made sense to also deploy the storage on k8s, however I heard from some of my friends/contacts that there can be issues with persistent volumes on k8, when pods fail that the volumes do not get released quickly enough so that there can be significant downtime before the storage is fully recovered.

I have seen scattering of other posts talk about this, but I do not know what is the truth and if it is a good idea or not.

Any help would be appreciated.
