ONTAP storage driver for S3

[tmyhu]

S3 capabilities have been added in ONTAP 9.8. Are there any plans to add a new storage driver to trident that can utilize S3?

Trident conforms to the Container Storage Interface, which only supports Block storage and File storage, not Object storage.

There is an effort to create a Container Object Storage Interface, but the two are not directly interchangeable. Like if a pod "mounts" an S3 bucket like it would a normal PVC, you couldn't emulate file permissions, partial writes (have to upload the whole new file), or many other filesystem features.

Once COSI is futher I would think this request would make a lot of sense for Trident to also facilitate S3.

I was wondering what the recent status of this is?

I know the spec is still in Alpha but it seems others have started the work on integrations. :)
