Connecting ecosystems: How Cinder CSI, Ember CSI & Manila CSI leverage OpenStack bits in Kubernetes
summary
Cinder CSI uses Nova and Cinder to provision and attach volumes and supports topology, snapshots, cloning, inline raw block, expansion and volume cloning; it requires a running OpenStack control plane. Ember CSI reuses Cinder code via cinderlib to provide the same features without Cinder services, enabling bare metal Kubernetes/OpenShift. Manila CSI exposes shared file systems, supports about 35 backends (CephFS, NFS), and provides RWX file shares across nodes via standard CSI sidecars and daemonsets.
