Dell CSM Operator

Dell CSM Operator is a Kubernetes native application which helps in installing and managing CSI Drivers and CSM Modules provided by Dell Technologies for its various storage platforms. Dell CSM Operator uses Kubernetes CRDs (Custom Resource Definitions) to define a manifest that describes the deployment specifications for each driver to be deployed.

Dell CSM Operator is built using the operator framework and runs custom Kubernetes controllers to manage the driver installations. These controllers listen for any create/update/delete request for the respective CRDs and try to reconcile the request.

Currently, the Dell CSM Operator can be used to deploy the following CSI drivers provided by Dell Technologies

• CSI Driver for Dell Technologies PowerScale
  • CSM Authorization

NOTE: You can refer to additional information about the Dell CSM Operator on the new documentation website here
