Install Portworx CSI

You can install Portworx CSI to use FlashArray, FlashBlade, or both as backend storage for Kubernetes applications. With Direct Access volumes, Portworx provisions FlashArray and FlashBlade volumes directly, maps them to PVCs that you create, and mounts them to pods. Once mounted, your application writes data directly to FlashArray or FlashBlade without using storage pools.
