## From the publisher

In our ongoing SIG Spotlight series, we shine a light on the groups that keep the Kubernetes project moving forward. This time, we catch up with SIG Storage, the group responsible for persistent data, volume management, and the interfaces that connect Kubernetes workloads to the storage systems beneath them. We spoke with Xing Yang, Co-Chair of SIG Storage and Software Engineer at VMware by Broadcom, about the SIG's history, the features shipping in recent Kubernetes releases, and where storage in Kubernetes is headed as AI workloads become the norm. Introductions Could you introduce yourself and share your role(s) within SIG Storage? My name is Xing Yang, a software engineer at VMware by Broadcom. I'm a co-chair in SIG Storage, alongside another co-chair Saad Ali from Google. There are also two Tech Leads in SIG Storage: Michelle Au from Google and Jan Šafránek from Red Hat.
