Top 5 Reasons CSI Drivers Fall Short
For Enterprise-Scale Kubernetes Environments
In the dynamic world of containerized applications, Container Storage Interface (CSI) drivers for external storage systems have been a popular method for providing persistent storage in Kubernetes. However, when scaling to enterprise levels, CSI drivers with external storage solutions may fall short in meeting the storage and data management requirements of modern apps. This blog explores the top five reasons why this approach is wrong for enterprise-scale environments.
Enterprise Scalability and Performance Challenges
CSI drivers struggle to keep up with the high demandof enterprise-level workloads. They often face challenges in efficiently managing the storage and performance needs of large, complex applications, leading to performance bottlenecks and scalability issues. Cloud Native Storage (CNS) data management solutions keep storage operations inside the Kubernetes cluster to provide scalable, high performance persistent storage without relying on the underlying array handling normal provisioning to the containers themselves.
