The CoreOS team is excited to make this initial release and start collaborating with folks that want to tackle distributed storage.
tl;dr this is a new OSS distributed storage project that is written in Go and backed by etcd for consistency. The first project built on top of Torus is a network block device that can be mounted into containers for persistent storage. It also includes integrations out of the box for Kubernetes "flex volumes". Get involved! :)
Brandon, a few months ago I met you at a meetup and you did not think this problem needed to be solved, and containers were for ephemeral apps... just an AMA request, what changed hearts?
