The goal of Container Storage Interface (CSI) is to provide a standard API allowing a storage provider to write just one plugin that will work for all major container orchestration systems: Kubernetes, Mesos, Docker and Cloud Foundry. As the original co-author of the spec, Jie will give you an overview about CSI, and talk about many of the design decisions that were made earlier in the process and the rationales behind those design decisions. As an Apache Mesos PMC and committer, Jie will further discuss CSI from a container orchestrator’s perspective and talk about why this interface makes the container orchestrator’s life much easier. Finally, he will talk about the CSI support recently introduced in Mesos, and show you how seamless the integration is, and how easy it is to deploy a CSI plugin in Mesos.
