🔒 Important Notice

Starting with the release of Container Storage Modules v1.16.0, this repository will no longer be maintained as an open source project. Future development will continue under a closed source model. This change reflects our commitment to delivering even greater value to our customers by enabling faster innovation and more deeply integrated features with the Dell storage portfolio.
For existing customers using Dell’s Container Storage Modules, you will continue to receive:

• Ongoing Support & Community Engagement
  You will continue to receive high-quality support through Dell Support and our community channels. Your experience of engaging with the Dell community remains unchanged.
• Streamlined Deployment & Updates
  Deployment and update processes will remain consistent, ensuring a smooth and familiar experience.
• Access to Documentation & Resources
  All documentation and related materials will remain publicly accessible, providing transparency and technical guidance.
• Continued Access to Current Open Source Version
  The current open-source version will remain available under its existing license for those who rely on it.

Moving to a closed source model allows Dell’s development team to accelerate feature delivery and enhance integration across our Enterprise Kubernetes Storage solutions ultimately providing a more seamless and robust experience.
We deeply appreciate the contributions of the open source community and remain committed to supporting our customers through this transition.

For questions or access requests, please contact the maintainers via Dell Support.

Dell CSI Extensions

This repository holds definitions of additional grpc protocols which can be implemented by CSI drivers to build upon existing functionality supported via the Container Storage Interface (CSI). These are defined as .proto files, and compiled using the protoc program to generate a go file.

Current set of supported protocols:

• podmon - Extensions to CSI to enable CSI drivers to report host connectivity status
• replication - Extensions to CSI to enable CSI drivers to leverage storage array based replication within Kubernetes clusters

You can utilize the provided Makefile to compile protocol definitions in .proto files to go source files and then build the source files.

• podmon to compile and update files for podmon
• replication to compile and update files for replication.

Each protocol is available as a go module and can be included separately in CSI drivers.

If you are using gocsi for developing CSI driver, these extensions APIs can be used in CSI drivers by registering additional grpc servers while creating the Storage Plugin object. This facility is available in the forked version of gocsi here.

For using podmon, include "github.com/dell/dell-csi-extensions/podmon" in your go module dependencies.
For using replication, include "github.com/dell/dell-csi-extensions/replication" in your go module dependencies.
