VAST CSI Driver 2.7.0 has been released in September 2026. This release includes:
New Features
Asynchronous Replication
VAST CSI Driver 2.7.0 adds support for asynchronous replication of volumes between VAST clusters, with an ability to perform a failover to the secondary replication peer. Replication from one cluster to multiple replication destinations is supported.
To configure replication with the driver, use VAST CSI Replication Operator that offers automated replication management based on the replication CRDs you supply. To learn more, see Replicate Volumes with VAST CSI Replication Operator.
The following limitation applies:
- Creating a PVC from a snapshot (or from another PVC) on a source or destination replication peer is not allowed.
Enhancements
- Starting with version 2.7.0, VAST CSI Driver no longer adds the
mountproto=tcpmount option when mounting NFS volumes. - Made updates to allow installing the driver’s Helm chart if the driver’s Helm chart configuration file does not contain any storage classes.
- Made updates for the driver to expose existing S3 bucket views as ephemeral volumes so that they can be mounted over NFS.
- Made updates to allow deleting volumes that have snapshots. Prior to this change, the driver prevented deletion of a PVC in case it had a snapshot created from it.
