# Welcome to OpenEBS
-
-We are an ultra-modern Block Mode storage platform, a Hyper-Converged software Storage System and an Enterprise Grade virtual NVMe-oF SAN (vSAN) Fabric that is natively & very tightly integrated into Kubernetes.
+[](https://www.openebs.io/)
+
+OopenEBS is a modern Block-Mode storage platform, a Hyper-Converged software Storage System and virtual NVMe-oF SAN (vSAN) Fabric that is natively & tightly integrated into the core of Kubernetes.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> **OpenEBS provides**...
> - Stateful persistent Dynamically provisioned storage volumes for Kubernetes
> - High Performance NVMe-oF storage access optimized for All-Flash Solid State storage media
-> - is a 100% Cloud-Native storage platform
-> - Delivers a Kubernetes cluster-wide vSAN fabric that provides containers/Pods with resilient access to storage across the entire cluster.
+> - Block devices, LVM, ZFS, ext2/ext3/ext4, XFS, BTRFS...and more
+> - 100% Cloud-Native K8s declarative storage platform
+> - A cluster-wide vSAN block-mode fabric that provides containers/Pods with HA resilient access to storage across the entire cluster.
+> - Node local K8s PV's and n-way Replciated K8s PV's
+> - Deployable On-premise & in-cloud: (AWS EC2/EKS, Google GCP/GKE, Azure VM/AKS, Oracle OCI, IBM/RedHat OpenShift, Civo Cloud, Hetzner Cloud... and more)
> - Enterprise Grade data management capabilities such as **snapshots, clones, replicated volumes, DiskGroups, Volume Groups, Aggregates, RAID**
-### Multiple Storage Engines
-OpenEBS is a Kubernetes provides Persistent Stateful Storage Platform that has **5 core Data-Engines**
-Each Storage engine provides different Capabilities, Flexibility, Resilience, Data Protections, and Performance features.
-
-| ID | Data-Engines | Where to create your issues |
-| :---: | :--- | :--- |
-| | ```Replicated PV``` | ```Replicated storage and data volumes``` |
-| 1 | [Replicated PV Mayastor](https://github.com/openebs/mayastor) | Distributed vSAN Fabric attached volumes that are replicated |
-| | |
-| | ```Local PV``` | ```Non-replicated node local storage and volumes``` | |
-| 2. | [Local PV HostPath](https://github.com/openebs/dynamic-localpv-provisioner) | Dynamically provisioned Node-local volumes with **```Hostpath```** resident backend data |
-| 3. | [Local PV ZFS](https://github.com/openebs/zfs-localpv) | Dynamically provisioned Node-local volumes with an integrated **```ZFS```** storage backend |
-| 4. | [Local PV LVM](https://github.com/openebs/lvm-localpv) | Dynamically provisioned Node-local volumes with an integrated **```LVM```** storage backend |
-| 5. | [Local PV Raw-device-File](https://github.com/openebs/rawfile-localpv) | Dynamically provisioned Node-local volumes via **```soft-lun RAW Device files```** on ```Hostpath``` resident backend filesystem |
+## **openEBS has 2 Editions**:
+> | 1. ** STANDARD ** :heavy_check_mark: > ```Ready Player 1``` |
+> | - |
+> | 2. ** LEGACY ** :warning: ```Game Over``` |
+
+Within **STANDARD**, you have a choice of 2 Types of K8s Storage Services. ```Replicated PV``` and ```Local PV```.

-> Here are our key project popularity metrics as of: 01 Feb 2024
+**STANDARD** (Open Source Standard) is our Ultra modern Datastore stack that is strongly aligned with the cutting edge direction of storage use-cases in the K8s industry. It is designed to facilitate modern K8s datastore architectures, key K8s I/O patterns, K8s data access methods, K8s data use-cases and where K8s Datastore applications are heading.
+
+
+
+STANDARD is optimized for NVMe and SSD Flash storage media, and integrates ultra modern cutting-edge high performance storage technologies at its core...
