vSphere Kubernetes Drivers Operator

Build codecov Go Report Card

Overview

The vSphere Kubernetes Drivers Operator project is designed to simplify and automate the lifecycle management of CSI and CPI drivers in a Kubernetes cluster running on vSphere. The operator exposes Custom Resources to configure CPI and CSI drivers. To know more about the design and architecture you can see here.

Goals

Our goal is to make vSphere the best place to run any Kubernetes and to vastly simplify the experience of deploying Kubernetes to vSphere.

Prerequisites

VDO has been tested on k8s cluster running versions 1.21 or later. VDO can run on vanilla as well as openshift k8s clusters

  1. vSphere 6.7U3(or later) is supported for VDO
  2. Virtual Machine hardware version should be version 15(or later)
  3. K8s master nodes should be able to communicate with vcenter management interface
  4. Disable Swap(swapoff -a) on all nodes
  5. Enable Disk UUID(disk.EnableUUID) on all node vm's

Getting Started

Getting started with VDO is simple and straightforward. Please head to Getting Started

Community

All of the exising CPI, CSI and CNI driver projects are maintained in GitHub

We really value the community of developers and vSphere users who run Kubernetes on vSphere and our goal is to ensure that the vSphere Drivers Operator is designed and developed 100% in the open. As such, we will be using GitHub issues for tracking all of our work and GitHub markdown for our designs. We will be starting a regular call where design decisions are discussed and we commit to ensuring that decisions are well documented.

If you have an interest in contributing or submitting requirements, we'd love to hear from you!
