+Openshift Container Storage on OKD
+---
+
+# Introduction
+
+Openshift Container Storage (OCS) on OKD is software-defined storage for containers, with the storage services running natively in containers.
+
+It's especially powerful on bare metal deployments or situations where you don't have a cloud integration for provision of storage.
+
+Underneath, OCS is an opinionated deployment of Rook (which in-turn is an opionated deployment of Ceph in K8s) and NooBa (an object gateway).
+
+There are many components to OCS which fit together to give the rather pleasant developer experience.
+
+Under Openshift, OCS is available within the OperatorHub for near-oneclick install.
+
+Under OKD, you must build and install OCS manually which is a somewhat involved process.
+
+At some point in the future, a version of OCS should end up in the OKD OperatorHub - please follow along with the OKD Working Group to track progress on that.
+
+When not using cloud-backed storage (e.g EBS) you will need to install the Local Storage Operator which allows you to use local block devices for the internal Ceph cluster.
