Abstract
An illustrative storage system provides distributed storage for use by containerized applications running in a container system. In some implementations, this includes converting data blocks of storage resources to distributed persistent storage such as thin-provisioned volumes for use by the containerized applications. In some implementations, the conversion includes using a device mapper to virtualize the data blocks of the storage resources to create a virtual storage pool backing datastore in which the thin-provisioned volumes are created.
