Every Karbon cluster deploys persistence-ready
Kubernetes clusters deployed using Karbon automatically include Nutanix’s CSI (Container Storage Interface) driver, which natively integrates with Nutanix Files and Nutanix Volumes. You can then deploy stateful applications in just minutes, and without the hassle of tedious manual processes. Karbon also handles CSI driver upgrades as part of the Kubernetes cluster upgrade workflow.
Full-featured Nutanix CSI
Nutanix’s CSI driver exposes all storage features available in the underlying AOS cluster to the Kubernetes clusters deployed with Karbon. The CSI driver supports LVM volumes which allow for a single application to make use of the full compute and storage resources of the underlying AOS cluster.
Nutanix CSI features include:
Standard CSI Features
- Volume provisioning and deletion
- Support for raw block volumes
- Volume resizing
- Volume cloning
- Volume metrics
Advanced CSI Features
- ReadWriteMany (RWM) volumes using Nutanix Files
- Volume snapshot and restore
- LVM volume support
- Volume size reduction (compression, deduplication, erasure coding)
- Volume encryption
