Allow datasets to be mounted as ephemeral volumes in pods

Open srikumar003 opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Following from #139, datasets cannot be used in managed K8s environments where creation of cluster-scoped objects (like PersistentVolumes) are not allowed. One solution is to allow datasets to be translated into CSI ephemeral/inline volumes which will avoid the creation of PV/PVC but still allow mounting of volumes inside pods

CSI Inline Volumes are in beta since K8s v1.16 and will be GA from v1.24. However, this ability depends on support from the drivers.

We'll initially extend CSI-S3 to provide ephemeral volume support and to test Datashim. Additionally, we could extend this ability to the NFS and HostPath drivers
