Would Kubernetes Container Storage Interface (CSI) a valid use case for Cortx?

[kappa-wingman]

Is Cortx suitable for Kubernetes (cloud native storage)?

Many object storage systems support K8S CSI https://kubernetes-csi.github.io/docs/drivers.html.
Would a CSI developed for use with K8S in the roadmap?

Thanks.

@kappa-wingman, Yes would be a definitely a good use use for CORTX as we had already incorporated CSM component in Kubernetes but as a whole its still in roadmap

[kappa-wingman]

Great.

I guess a wider market share or adoption of open source storage products with CSI is rook-ceph and OpenEBS. Looking forward to see CORTX to support CSI in the future.

Thank you @kappa-wingman ! We definitely want to support Kubernetes and CSI but we have some work to do to get there as we still have a small amount of in-kernel code running. We have roadmap plans to replace those with user space and then Kubernetes and CSI are high-priority for us. Thanks for feedback!
