Storage performance varies greatly from the combination of workloads, storage software layers, topology, and storage systems. Benchmarks and datasheets offer some guidance but experiments with real datasets and data processing unique to a workload produces a better prediction of deployed performance.

In data management, elasticity means having the ability to optimize storage space usage by reclaiming storage when no longer needed. This can involve moving older data to less expensive storage tiers or archiving it to long-term storage to free up space for more critical data. Cloud infrastructure, which charges for every resource used, can benefit greatly from this feature, as it helps to prevent unnecessary costs from running services that are no longer required. An elastic infrastructure that can rapidly respond to changes in demand and adjust resource allocation accordingly is a vital component of modern IT systems, enabling organizations to maintain optimal performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.

A storage system can be deployed or instantiated on-premises or in a cloud environment in a variety of ways which defines where the storage solution or service can be deployed and/or consumed:

Encryption is only one part of a broader security posture. For a more detailed treatment of security topics such as transport layer security and certificate management, encryption at rest, and authentication/authorization integration with Kubernetes, see the [Security section](https://github.com/cncf/tag-storage/blob/master/data-on-kubernetes-whitepaper/data-on-kubernetes-whitepaper-databases.md#security) of the Data on Kubernetes Whitepaper - Database Patterns.

## 4.6 Physical / Non-Volatile Layer – terminology

Storage systems will ultimately persist data on some form of physical storage layer which is generally non-volatile. The choice of the physical layer impacts the overall performance of the storage system and defines the long term durability of the stored dataset.
