Provision Storage for Applications

Use PX-CSI to provision and manage storage for your Kubernetes applications and virtual machines.

Provisioning methods​

PX-CSI supports two methods for provisioning storage:

  1. Dynamic provisioning: Automatically provisions persistent volumes using a StorageClass. When you create a PVC that references a StorageClass, PX-CSI creates a new volume on the Pure Storage array with the specified configuration.

  2. Static provisioning (Pre-provisioned volumes): Import existing FlashArray or FlashBlade volumes into Kubernetes without creating new volumes. Useful for consuming volumes created outside Kubernetes.

KubeVirt VM storage​

PX-CSI supports virtual machine workloads by provisioning volumes that enable features such as live migration and virtual TPM (vTPM).
