Enable CSI on IKS

Prerequisites

Before you install and use Portworx with CSI, ensure you meet the prerequisistes:

• Certain features may require newer versions of Kubernetes or Portworx

Overview

The Portworx CSI Driver requires additional components called CSI Sidecars in order to function properly. To make sure these components and their dependencies are installed on your cluster, follow the instructions below.

Portworx CSI installed by default

Starting with the Portworx Operator, CSI is enabled by default for new Portworx installations. Due to the nature of CSI and its dependencies, it is highly recommend using the Portworx Operator for installation.

The Portworx Operator easily manages all CSI components based on your Kubernetes and Portworx versions. This makes upgrading Kubernetes and Portworx versions far easier.

Contribute

Portworx by Pure Storage welcomes contributions to its CSI implementation, which is open-source with a repository located at OpenStorage. In addition, we also encourage contributions to the Kubernetes-CSI open source implementation.
