What is Portworx CSI

Portworx CSI (PX-CSI) is a lightweight storage orchestration solution that uses the native CSI framework in Kubernetes to seamlessly integrate FlashArray, including Pure Cloud Block Store (CBS) for Azure, and FlashBlade as storage backends. PX-CSI orchestrates the provisioning, management, and accessibility of FlashArray and FlashBlade Direct Access volumes through PersistentVolumeClaims (PVCs), VolumeSnapshot, VolumeClone, and other Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs), enabling applications to seamlessly utilize these storage resources in a Kubernetes environment. PX-CSI runs on each Kubernetes node and manages all operations required to ensure volumes are available and accessible to applications. You do not need a seperate license to use Portworx CSI.
