CSI Introduction

CSI is a standardized mechanism for Container Orchestrators (COs) to expose arbitrary storage systems to their containerized workloads. The InfoScale CSI plugin is used to provide persistent InfoScale Storage to container workloads or applications. The InfoScale CSI plugin supports creation of storage classes for high availability, performance, and capacity. Online expansion of capacity as well as the usage of snapshots and clones is also supported. Raw block volume is also supported, where applications directly write to the provided block device.
