Cinder CSI and Trident CSI users: you'd need to have multipath tools (Trident CSI forces that requirement on SolidFire users). Otherwise, SolidFire CSI works fine (and in fact better) with LACP and without `multipath-tools`.\n\nSolidFire CSI is very easy to move to/from without recreating data, because it's a simple, stateless CSI driver.\n\n## Features\n\n- **Simple:** smaller, simpler, lighter\n- **Multi-tenancy:** Uses `StorageClass` parameters/secrets instead of \"backends\", enabling multiple tenants/clusters.\n- **Stateless:** No persistent backend configuration file. We use light, ephemeral caching.\n- **Quotas:** Local limit enforcement for `max_volume_count` and `max_total_capacity` per Tenant (configured in StorageClass).\n- **Snapshots \u0026 Clones:** Native SolidFire snapshot and clone support.\n- **Quality of Service:** Proper QoS support through QoS Policy IDs - never waste IOPS or come up short because you can't retype your PVCs.\n- **Predictable and correct volume scheduling:** Pick the exact QoS policy ID you want for a PVC; no more guesswork with overlapping QoS ranges.\n- **Superior manageability:** Enhanced use of SolidFire [volume attributes](https://scaleoutsean.github.io/2024/07/02/solidfire-volume-attributes-from-trident-and-other-apps.html). Volume and Snapshot Attributes are first class citizens in SolidFire CSI.\n- **PVC retyping:** Modify volume's QoS Policy ID to change its performance - great for backup, and on-demand performance upgrades (or downgrades)!\n- **Delete or Purge:** Lets you optionally take advantage of SolidFire volume restore feature to restore data from deleted volumes (requires SolidFire administrator's action before volume is auto-purged (8h)). Simply specify \"delete\" behavior (SolidFire volume delete option) in your Storage Class.\n- **Wider filesystem support:** ext4, XFS, Btrfs.\n- **Observability:** Automatic \"lazy discovery\" of storage array state keeps track of global metrics (Total PVCs, Total Capacity, Total MinIOPS) across all tenants via `/metrics`. Metrics are by default disabled to eliminate the need for network access to SolidFire CSI controller.\n- **High Availability:** Fully stateless controller design supports multiple replicas (Active/Standby) using standard sidecar leader election.\n- **Auto-Discard:** Automatically mounts volumes with `discard` enabled. No need to micromanage StorageClass options; blocks are freed immediately for SolidFire efficiency, backup efficiency and SSD health.\n- **Dynamic Limits:** Automatically fetches cluster limits (e.g., Max Volume Size, Max Snapshots) to enforce bounds correctly across different SolidFire models (Demo VM vs. Production).\n- **Other goodies:** Takes advantage of other SolidFire strengths without creating bloat or unresonable compromises. For example, Consistency Group Snapshots are supported and LUKS is not.\n\n## Requirements\n\n- Kubernetes 1.25+ (developed and tested on 1.34 and 1.35) with optional multipath-tools\n- iSCSI tools installed on worker nodes (`open-iscsi` or `iscsi-initiator-utils`)\n- SolidFire Element OS 12.5+ (CHAP algorithm `MD5` for 12.5 and `SHA3-256` for higher versions)\n\n## Getting started\n\n- Go to ./helm/solidfire-csi, copy values.yaml to myvalues.yaml, edit myvalues.yaml and deploy Helm chart for SolidFire CSI\n- Read [DOCUMENTATION](./DOCUMENTATION.md) with step-by-step instructions\n\n## Acknowledgement\n\n- John Griffith for vision and wisdom in all matters Cinder and CSI, `solidfire-go` and `solidfire-sdk` (which this CSI driver builds upon) available under the Apache 2.0 license\n- Some of the SolidFire driver source code from NetApp Trident project (Apache 2.0)\n\n## SolidFire CSI contributors\n\n- scaleoutsean (Sean) - maintainer (design, planning, testing, documentation)\n- AI coding assistants\n\n## License\n\n- Apache 2.0\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fscaleoutsean%2Fsolidfire-csi","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fscaleoutsean%2Fsolidfire-csi","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fscaleoutsean%2Fsolidfire-csi/lists"}
