+### Multiple Storage Engines
+OpenEBS is a Kubernetes provides Persistent Stateful Storage Platform that has **5 core Data-Engines**<BR>
+Each Storage engine provides different Capabilities, Flexibility, Resilience, Data Protections, and Performance features. <BR>

-In 2022, OpenEBS introduced the MayaStor storage Data-Engine which is based on the Ultra High-Performance SPDK NVMe Stack, IO URING Technology & Linux NVMe drivers. This delivers higher performance than was previously possible in any Kubernetes storage product.<BR>
 <BR>
-The OpeneBS project consists of multiple Data-Engines projects that are grouped into 2 EDITIONs.
-- The older storage engines are referred to as **LEGACY Edition**
-- The ultra modern Mayastor Data-Engine is classifed as **STANDARD Edition**, which also includes...
-    - LVM LocalPV
-    - ZFS LocalPV
-    - Device LocalPV
-    - RawFile LocalPV
-    - LocalPV-HostPath
-    - LocalPV-Device
 
-<BR>
-The project plans to migrate, sunset and archive all LEGACY Data-Engines by June 2024. <BR>

-All **LEGACY** Data-Engines will be tagged as DEPRECATED and will be moved to ARCHIVE status by June 2024. These Data-Engines are:
-  - Jiva  - Users should migrate to MayaStor Data-Engine
-  - cStor - Users should migrate to MayaStor Data-Engine
-  - NFS Provisioner  - Deprecated. No RWX services or features will be supported
-
-New Roadmap features are planned for **STANDARD** that provide a strong pathway for **LEGACY** users to migrate to **STANDARD**. <BR>
