Summary
Kubernetes Volume plugin
Details
The Nutanix Container Storage Interface (CSI) Volume Driver for Kubernetes uses Nutanix Volumes and Nutanix Files to provide scalable, persistent storage for stateful applications.
Kubernetes contains an in-tree CSI Volume Plug-In that allows the out-of-tree Nutanix CSI Volume Driver to gain access to containers and provide persistent-volume storage. The plugin runs in a pod and dynamically provisions requested PersistentVolumes (PVs) using Nutanix Files and Nutanix Volumes storage.
When Nutanix Files is used for persistent storage, applications on multiple pods can access the same storage and also have the benefit of multi-pod read-and-write access.
The Nutanix CSI Volume Driver requires Kubernetes v1.13 or later and AOS 5.6.2 or later. When using Nutanix Volumes, Kubernetes worker nodes must have the iSCSI package installed.
Nutanix also developed its own container platform software called "Karbon". Karbon provides on-premises Kubernetes-as-a-Service (KaaS) in order to enable end-users to quickly adopt container services.
