Ceph-CSI: The Engine Behind Persistent Storage in Kubernetes
summary
Ceph‑CSI provides a full CSI driver for Ceph RBD, CephFS and NFS (three backends) and implements newer CSI features early: volume group snapshots for consistency groups and Changed Block Tracking for incremental backups on RBD. A new operator consolidates deployment into CRDs (operator config, driver CRs, SeConnection) to avoid duplicate Helm/templates and already reaches v1 maturity. CSI add‑ons supply key rotation, network fencing, reclaim space and PVC‑level volume/group replication; a volume condition reporter exists in alpha to surface IO health.
