Summary

Integrate Helm chart support for deploying the Azure Lustre CSI Driver on AKS clusters. This will simplify installation, upgrades, and configuration management.

Background

• Azure Lustre CSI Driver allows Kubernetes workloads to access Azure Managed Lustre storage.
• Current deployment relies on manual YAML manifests.
• Helm charts will provide:
  • Versioned packaging
  • Parameterized configuration
  • Easier integration with CI/CD pipelines

References:

• Azure Lustre CSI Driver Docs

Goals

• Create a Helm chart for Azure Lustre CSI Driver.
• Support:
  • Dynamic provisioning
  • Node plugin and controller deployment
  • Configurable Lustre mount options
• Publish chart to:
  • GitHub repository

Tasks

• Define chart structure (Chart.yaml, values.yaml, templates).
• Add Kubernetes manifests for:
  • CSI Controller
  • CSI Node DaemonSet
• Parameterize:
  • Lustre filesystem name
  • Mount options
  • Image tags
• Implement Helm hooks for pre/post-install checks.
