Cloud native storage is a specialized storage technology tailored to meet the demands of cloud native environments.
It offers data storage solutions optimized for containerized applications running on platforms like
[Kubernetes](/kubernetes/) or other cloud-native infrastructures. A cloud native storage platform primarily caters
to [stateful applications](/stateful-apps/), which rely on persistent data storage.

## Problem it addresses

Traditional storage solutions often face challenges such as limited scalability, operational complexity,
performance bottlenecks, inefficient resource utilization, and integration difficulties. These issues arise from

This section is a little complex. Remember the audience we're aiming for with this glossary is a non-technical one. I'm not sure that we would expect someone looking up the definition of 'cloud native storage' to understand any of the individual items in this list without further explanation.

the cumbersome process of expanding storage capacity, the manual management of complex infrastructure, and the inability
to efficiently handle high-speed data transactions. Moreover, legacy systems often lead to wasted resources and struggle
to integrate with modern application architectures, resulting in fragmented and inefficient data management.

Cloud native storage addresses these challenges by providing elastic [scalability](/scalability/), simplified management, high performance,
cost efficiency, and seamless integration. It automatically adjusts capacity based on demand, reducing the need for manual
intervention and minimizing operational overhead. With advanced caching and distributed architectures, it ensures fast data

Let's revise this sentence as a good chunk of it matches very closely with copy from https://www.isolveafrica.com/april-25-2024/
