AWS Elastic Block Store CSI Driver Operator

    Familiarity with persistent storage and is recommended when working with a Container Storage Interface (CSI) Operator and driver.

    To create CSI-provisioned PVs that mount to AWS EBS storage assets, OKD installs the AWS EBS CSI Driver Operator and the AWS EBS CSI driver by default in the namespace.

    About CSI

    Storage vendors have traditionally provided storage drivers as part of Kubernetes. With the implementation of the Container Storage Interface (CSI), third-party providers can instead deliver storage plug-ins using a standard interface without ever having to change the core Kubernetes code.

    CSI Operators give OKD users storage options, such as volume snapshots, that are not possible with in-tree volume plug-ins.
