This repo contains Ceph
[Container Storage Interface (CSI)](https://github.com/container-storage-interface/)
driver for RBD, CephFS and kubernetes sidecar deployment yamls of provisioner,
attacher, node-driver-registrar and snapshotter for supporting CSI functionalities.

## Overview

Ceph CSI plugins implement an interface between CSI enabled Container Orchestrator
(CO) and Ceph cluster. It allows dynamically provisioning Ceph volumes and
attaching them to workloads.

Independent CSI plugins are provided to support RBD and CephFS backed volumes,

- For details about configuration and deployment of RBD plugin, please refer
  [rbd doc](https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/blob/master/docs/deploy-rbd.md) and
  for CephFS plugin configuration and deployment please
  refer [cephfs doc](https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/blob/master/docs/deploy-cephfs.md).
- For example usage of RBD and CephFS CSI plugins, see examples in `examples/`.

## Project status

Status: **GA**

## Supported CO platforms

Ceph CSI drivers are currently developed and tested **exclusively** on Kubernetes
environments. There is work in progress to make this CO independent and thus
support other orchestration environments in the future.

NOTE:

- **`csiv0.3`** is deprecated with release of **`csi v1.1.0`**

`NOTE`: The `Alpha` status reflects possible non-backward
compatible changes in the future, and is thus not recommended
for production use.
