Intro: vSphere Cloud Provider and CSI

on YouTube ↗38m

" summary

Explains that Kubernetes integration with vSphere moves from in-tree code to CSI and out-of-tree cloud provider, both now GA (cloud-provider v1.0.3, capv v0.5.3) and deployed as pods so you can kubectl get pods to verify; requires vSphere 6.7u3 for the CNS API that exposes PVs in the vSphere UI. Notes missing load‑balancer support (looking at NSX) and open CSI work on volume resizing and snapshots.
