A Kubernetes CSI driver that lets clusters mount and dynamically provision persistent volumes from an existing NFSv3 or NFSv4 server. It creates subdirectories on the NFS server to back PersistentVolumeClaims and supports snapshots and volume cloning.
Use cases
- dynamically provision persistent volumes from an NFS server in Kubernetes
- mount an existing NFS share as a Kubernetes PersistentVolume
- create subdirectory-backed PVCs on NFS storage
- take volume snapshots of NFS-backed persistent volumes
- clone NFS-backed persistent volumes
- use NFS storage with MicroK8s clusters
When to choose
- your Kubernetes cluster needs persistent storage backed by an existing NFSv3 or NFSv4 server
- you want dynamic provisioning of PVCs on NFS without pre-creating volumes
- you need snapshots or cloning for NFS-backed volumes
- you want a GA-status, Kubernetes SIG-storage maintained driver
When to avoid
- you have no NFS server already configured and reachable from your nodes
- you need block storage or local-disk performance rather than network file storage
- your cluster runs on Windows nodes, which this driver does not support
- you need a storage backend other than NFS (use a CSI driver for that backend)
