RBD (RADOS Block Device)

RADOS Block Device (RBD) is a technology that allows users to store and manage data in a flexible and scalable way. It’s part of the Ceph storage system, which is designed for cloud environments. RBD treats storage as a block of data, similar to how a hard drive works, enabling users to create and use virtual disks for applications. This makes it easy to scale storage as needed, improve performance, and ensure data redundancy. Essentially, RBD enables efficient and reliable storage solutions for businesses and developers in a distributed computing environment.
