Congratulations, you've successfully installed Azure Container Storage. You now have new storage classes that you can use for your Kubernetes workloads.

Now you can create a storage pool and persistent volume claim, and then deploy a pod and attach a persistent volume. Depending on the back-end storage type you want to use, follow the steps in the appropriate how-to article.

Next you'll need to choose a back-end storage option to create your storage pool. Choose one of the following three options and follow the link to create a storage pool and persistent volume claim.

- **Azure Elastic SAN Preview**: Azure Elastic SAN preview is a good fit for general purpose databases, streaming and messaging services, CD/CI environments, and other tier 1/tier 2 workloads. Storage is provisioned on demand per created volume and volume snapshot. Multiple clusters can access a single SAN concurrently, however persistent volumes can only be attached by one consumer at a time.

- **Azure Disks**: Azure Disks are a good fit for databases such as MySQL, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL. Storage is provisioned per target container storage pool size and maximum volume size. [Create a storage pool using Azure Disks](use-container-storage-with-managed-disks.md#create-a-storage-pool).

- **Ephemeral Disk**: This option uses local NVMe drives on the AKS nodes and is extremely latency sensitive (low sub-ms latency), so it's best for applications with no data durability requirement or with built-in data replication support such as Cassandra. AKS discovers the available ephemeral storage on AKS nodes and acquires the drives for volume deployment.
