## What it is
REX-Ray is a vendor-agnostic container storage orchestration engine that provides persistent storage for Docker, Kubernetes, and Mesos workloads. It is available as a standalone Linux service, a CLI tool, and a Go package, abstracting volume attachment, formatting, and mounting across multiple storage providers.

## Use cases
- persist docker container data on aws ebs volumes
- attach and mount cloud storage volumes to kubernetes pods
- manage persistent volumes for mesos frameworks
- orchestrate storage across multiple cloud providers
- run a storage orchestration daemon on linux hosts
- provision and mount block storage for cloud native apps

## When to choose
- you need persistent volumes for Docker, Kubernetes, or Mesos on supported providers like AWS EBS, EFS, or Dell EMC
- you want a vendor-agnostic storage layer usable as a service, CLI, or Go library

## When to avoid
- you need modern CSI support - the project predates stable CSI and development has largely stalled
- you use storage platforms not listed in its provider support table
- you want actively maintained software with frequent releases

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: maintenance
- function: cli, deployment, container-runtime
- domain: cloud-computing, infrastructure-as-code
- platform: go, cli
- tags: docker-volume-plugin, persistent-storage, csi, storage-provisioning, mesos, ebs, cloud-storage, storage-orchestration, containers, devops, linux, docker, kubernetes
