Abstract
An example virtualized computing system includes a cluster of hosts having a virtualization layer executing thereon and configured to manage virtual machines (VMs); a local storage device in a first host of the cluster, the local storage device configured as direct-attach storage; and an orchestration control plane, integrated with the virtualization layer, the orchestration control plane including a master server managing state of the orchestration control plane, the state including objects representing the hosts and the VMs, the orchestration control plane deploying a persistent application executing on a first VM of the VMs, the persistent application storing persistent data on the direct-attach storage.
