Kubernetes integration

StorPool provides and maintains a Kubernetes integration that makes it possible for the Kubernetes cluster to use StorPool volumes transparently as persistent storage volumes for its data. It comes in two flavors: StorPool CSI and StorPool iSCSI CSI. Here is a brief comparison:

• StorPool CSI utilizes the storpool_block service to mount StorPool volumes in the /dev directory. Hyper-converged deployments would benefit from this CSI.

• StorPool iSCSI CSI utilizes the host’s iSCSI initiator (client) to attach volumes to it. This CSI would benefit deployments where Kubernetes and StorPool do not share the same hosts.
