Portworx CSI Release Notes

Portworx CSI (PX-CSI) is a lightweight storage orchestration solution that uses the Kubernetes Container Storage Interface (CSI) framework to integrate the Pure Storage storage solutions.

For information about supported versions, release numbering, and support phases, refer to the PX-CSI Life Cycle Support Policy.
