OSD vs CSI Plugin/Driver

Open msolefonte opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

Here we go again, just a QUESTION.

One of the points of using OpenStorage is to exploit the possibility of exposing a CSI Compilable-API that can be used by multiple Container Orchestators. However, there are some drivers or plugins like AWS EBS CSI driver or CSI-NFS that are still in development, but do basically the same that OSD does. So, what is the point of having more points of fault? Isn't OpenStorage basically a CSI driver Swiss Tool?

Also, this is not the same question but it's related: What is the point of using OSD to manage volumes from Docker when you can just create and map NFS volumes (f.e.) from Docker using the Docker NFS plugin?

Thank you again.
