US Patent 11467775 Virtual persistent volumes for containerized applications

Example implementations relate to virtual persistent volumes for containerized applications. In an example, a plurality of different storage mounts are acquired from a mix of storage types. A containerized storage virtualization system creates and manages a virtual persistent volume that aggregates the acquired storage mounts. A mount point of the virtual persistent volume is provided to the containerized application. The virtual persistent volume includes a hierarchical structure that relates data objects of the containerized application by content-based signatures to a root object.
