Upcloud CSI volume driver
Hello!
Has Elastisys tried any Kubernetes CSI driver for Upcloud? We've been (successfully) using the following driver to attach Upcloud volumes:
https://github.com/DGollings/csi-upcloud
... but it doesn't seem it's being actively maintained.
We're currently setting up an Elastisys Compliant Kubernetes cluster on Upcloud and we're wondering how much of a risk it would be to rely on this CSI driver, so I'm trying to reach out and see if anybody at Elastisys has any relevant experience.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. We would like to be able to use Upcloud volumes as part of our Elastisys cluster installation on Upcloud.
Describe the solution you'd like Ideally, some documentation that mentions if Elastisys has tried any CSI drivers for supported providers and whether this is a recommended solution or not.
Describe alternatives you've considered We've generally used different storage drivers for different customer clusters. Usually cloud provider volumes have better performance than e.g. iSCSI-based solutions such as Longhorn, so we try to use these volumes for performance sensitive applications such as database storage.
Hi @wvh . I asked UpCloud and they just got back to me. UpCloud is currently developing a CSI driver maintained by themselves. Beta release of this driver will most probably happen during Q1/2022. They suggest switching to the new UpCloud driver then.
If you are eager to get started with UpCloud sooner, may I suggest you use Rook.
Hope this helps!
Hi @wvh, we have tried upclouds csi driver and there exists a branch that includes it.
Please let us know how it goes if you test it :slightly_smiling_face:
