Noticed something cool (one of many things, tbh) in the GCE PD CSI Driver for GKE. New StorageClasses (PD-SSD & Balanced PD) are created for you with this default: `VolumeBindingMode: WaitForFirstConsumer` Why is this important?

Good overview from Patrick Ohly on what it means for #storage capacity tracking, #distributedprovisioning, and generic ephemeral volumes to get promoted to beta with the new #Kubernetes 1.21 release ☁️ kubernetes.io/blog/2021/04/1…

The CSI Volume Health Monitoring feature, originally introduced in 1.19 has undergone a large update for the #K8s 1.21 release. Xing Yang shares more on the blog 📚 kubernetes.io/blog/2021/04/1…

#CNDMDays, a #KubeCon co-lo event, is coming on May 4th. Jan and I will talk about what’s new in Kubernetes CSI. Sid and Krish will introduce an exciting new project COSI that’s going to bring object storage to #Kubernetes. hubs.li/H0MdPxf0 Saad Ali Sidhartha Mani

New Kubernetes ReadWriteOncePod volume access mode eliminates the ambiguity with the existing ReadWriteOnce access mode which (despite the name) allowed multiple pods as long as those pods happened to be scheduled to the same node. Thanks Chris Henzie! kubernetes.io/blog/2021/09/1…

Managing stateful workloads just got a lot easier. Kubernetes application config and data can now be easily backed up and restored across clusters and even regions!

We stick to our guiding principles: Open, Easy, Transformative. New, integrated capabilities to help you innovate on GCP, others clouds or on-prem. Not just containers but still #Kubernetes #googlenext Google Cloud cloud.google.com/blog/topics/hy…

Just launched: image streaming for GKE cloud.google.com/blog/products/…. If you use autoscaling, have large container images, or just want your applications to start faster, you will want to use this.

If you are using a built-in cloud volume plugin in Kubernetes, they will be migrated to CSI over the next few releases. Depending on your k8s distro, there may or may not be action required. Please give us early feedback! kubernetes.io/blog/2021/12/1…

Backup for GKE is now available in preview, providing the ability to backup and restore your Kubernetes clusters. Give it a try! cloud.google.com/kubernetes-eng…

New Pod - #Kubernetes SIG Storage - Intro and Deep Dive with Xing Yang We discuss Storage SIG, Data Protection WG, and storage features introduced in K8s version 1.23 and the ones planned for the 1.24 release. #KubernetesBytes #vExpert podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kub…

Local SSDs are great for high-performance caches. Now GKE has two GA options for provisioning local SSDs in your cluster, allowing you to choose between Kubernetes emptyDir, hostPath and PersistentVolume APIs. cloud.google.com/blog/products/…

We have joined the Data on #Kubernetes (#DoKC) community as a Gold sponsor 💛 “With DoKC, we want to work with the community to help customers modernize stateful applications on Kubernetes.”—Akshay Ram, Senior Product Manager at Google Cloud Read more ↓ businesswire.com/news/home/2023…

GCSFuse + CSI is an exciting feature to get the scalability and low cost of GCS for AI/ML applications that need portable file semantics. The team has found some interesting ways to manage FUSE drivers in Kubernetes. Try it out and give us your feedback! cloud.google.com/blog/products/…
