Overview
Container Storage Interface (CSI) is a standardized specification for exposing arbitrary block and file storage systems to containerized workloads in orchestrators like Kubernetes. The vContainer Storage Interface extends the capabilities of VNG CLOUD storage service to seamlessly integrate with container orchestration platforms, providing dynamic and scalable storage solutions for containerized applications.
Key features of the vContainer Storage Interface include:
| # | Feature | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dynamic provisioning | The vContainer Storage Interface plugin enables on-demand creation of Persistent Volumes for containerized workloads. This enhances the agility and scalability of container deployments by allowing storage resources to be provisioned automatically based on workload requirements. |
| 2 | Block volume | The plugin supports Block Volume storage, which is ideal for applications that require high performance and low latency storage solutions. |
| 3 | Volume expansion | Driver supports both Offline (volume is currently not published or available on a node) and Online (volume is currently published or available on a node) resize of volumes. This capability ensures that storage resources can scale in tandem with the evolving demands of applications, providing a responsive and adaptable infrastructure. |
