About Longhorn
Longhorn is a lightweight, reliable, and easy-to-use distributed block storage system for Kubernetes. It is a CNCF sandbox project maintained by SUSE/Rancher.
Each volume is an independent replica that can be backed up to S3-compatible object storage. Longhorn provides snapshots, scheduled backups, cross-cluster disaster recovery, and volume encryption.
Installation is simplified through Helm charts or the Rancher UI. The built-in UI provides volume management, monitoring, and backup status. ReadWriteMany volumes are supported via NFS.
Longhorn targets teams running Kubernetes on bare metal or edge locations who need persistent storage without external storage infrastructure like SAN or cloud-provider storage classes.
