description: >-
  Rook is a CNCF graduated, Apache 2.0 open-source Kubernetes operator for Ceph storage. The
  software itself is free; there is no project-issued pricing surface and no project-issued
  API. Commercial support is offered through third parties (Clyso provides Ceph/Rook support;
  Red Hat ships OpenShift Data Foundation, which embeds Rook).

      Commercial Ceph/Rook support and managed offerings are sold by third parties such as
      Clyso (specialist Ceph/Rook professional services and support) and Red Hat (OpenShift
      Data Foundation, which packages Rook + Ceph as a supported product). Pricing is
      negotiated directly with the chosen vendor.
