Wow..iv’e been waiting to write this one
Back in December 2018, I wrote a blog post which explains our company plans for containers integration, if you are new to all of this and really want to get a good “brief of history” about the early attempts that led us here, I strongly encourage you to have a read first here
read it? Good!
Today, I’m pleased to announce the global availability of the XtremIO / Kubernetes CSI 1.0 plugin, we have created you a bunch of collateral materials to get you started so you don’t need to guess anything but before that
The plugin itself can be downloaded from docker hub (click the screenshot below) but of course, you are going to pull it from the servers that are going to run it.
The deployment scripts which the plugin will pull can be located at GitHub, it will also contain the overview and the details of what exactly is supported
We have created couple of demos that will show you everything from installing it to use it’s basic & advanced capabilities
Installation
This part will show both the online installation and the offline one, will examine how the plugin will automatically create the host initiator group and / or use an existing one
