VAST Block Storage CSI Driver allows container orchestration frameworks such as Kubernetes to dynamically provision NVMe-based block storage on a VAST cluster.
With VAST Block CSI Driver, you can:
-
Provision block volumes based on multiple Kubernetes storage classes
-
Provision ephemeral block volumes
-
Provision static block volumes
-
Protect the block volumes being provisioned with VAST snapshots and clones
-
Replicate block volumes to another VAST cluster
VAST Block CSI Driver capabilities include:
-
Support for multiple VAST clusters
-
Support for multiple VAST cluster tenants
-
DNS-based resolution of virtual IPs
Note: VAST Cluster 5.3 or later is required for block storage provisioning.
