Abstract
NVMe KV is a proposal for a new command structure to access data on an NVMe controller that is being developed within the NVMe technical working group. This proposed command set provides a key and a value to store data on the Non Volatile media and provides a key to retrieve data stored on the media. In addition to the work on the NVMe specification, the SNIA is also working on a KeyValue API. This presentation will describe the standardization efforts going on in both the NVMe working group and SNIA. Learning Objectives: 1. What is Key Value Storage 2. Where are we at in the NVMe standardization process of NVMe KV 3. Where are we at in the SNIA standardization process of a KV API
