+## What it is
+
+Cloud native storage is a specialized storage technology tailored to meet the demands of cloud native environments.
+It offers data storage solutions optimized for containerized applications running on platforms like
+[Kubernetes](/kubernetes/) or other cloud-native infrastructures. A cloud-native storage platform primarily caters
+to stateful applications, which rely on persistent data storage. There are a number of different cloud-native storage
+solutions available, including object storage, block storage, and file storage.
+
+## Problem it addresses
+
+[Cloud-native applications](/cloud-native-apps/) are commonly built using microservices, small independent units of code
+enabling individual scaling and deployment. While this approach grants flexibility and [scalability](/scalability/), it
+poses unique storage challenges.
+
+Unlike traditional systems designed for [monolithic applications](/monolithic-apps/), cloud-native storage offers
+adaptability and scalability. Stateless by design, it doesn't store persistent data, ensuring improved performance
+compared to disk-based systems. [Distributed](/distributed-systems/) across multiple servers, it enhances resilience and
+performance. Traditional storage systems are unsuitable for cloud-native applications due to their inflexibility,
+management complexities, and high latency.
+
+## How it helps
+
+Cloud native storage offers flexible, scalable, and high-performing storage solutions that align with
+[containerized](/containerization/) environments. It efficiently manages data, replication, protection, and
+persistence while promoting improved scalability, resilience, and performance. By seamlessly integrating with
+[microservices-based architectures](/microservices-architecture/), it enables independent scaling and deployment
+of storage resources.
