NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

Worth exploring with the goal of understanding how it will affect your enterprise.
Longhorn is a distributed block storage system for Kubernetes. There are many persistent storage options for Kubernetes; unlike most, however, Longhorn is built from the ground up to provide incremental snapshots and backups, thereby easing the pain of running a replicated storage for non–cloud-hosted Kubernetes. With the recent experimental support for ReadWriteMany (RWX) you can even mount the same volume for read and write access across many nodes. Choosing the right storage system for Kubernetes is a nontrivial task, and we recommend you assess Longhorn based on your needs.
