Description
Dell Container Storage Modules
Dell Container Storage Modules (CSM) Operator is a Kubernetes tool for installing and managing Dell’s storage drivers and modules for PowerFlex, PowerScale, PowerStore, PowerMax, and Unity. By using Dell CSM Operator, you can simplify the deployment of CSM Modules like Authorization and Replication, aiding your DevOps teams in optimizing Kubernetes workloads with enterprise-grade storage. Available as a community operator for Kubernetes and OpenShift, it can be deployed via OperatorHub.io using Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM).
The following modules are available for deployment:
Authorization: Apply quota and RBAC rules that instantly and automatically restrict cluster tenants' usage of storage resources, built on a stateless architecture.
Replication: Easily extend data protection and DR planning to Kubernetes workloads with consistent policy enforcement and user experience.
Resiliency: Improve application up-time with automatic detection and recovery of node failures.
Observability: Create a single pane management experience for your developers and Kubernetes admins by integrating tools such as Prometheus and Grafana.
Snapshots: Build on CSI’s point-in-time recovery with additional capabilities for volume snapshots with referential integrity.
