The Kubernetes on-premises cluster must have a shared storage solution to run stateful workloads. SAN, NAS, and software-defined storage are more than ever a vital part of these infrastructures. In addition to data mobility within nodes of a cluster, these solutions can bring data services that cloud-hosted solutions might not be able to deliver to Kubernetes, such as volume-based replication, high IOPS and bandwidth volumes, and more.
