CSI (Container Storage Interface)

The Container Storage Interface (CSI) is a standardized way for container orchestration systems, like Kubernetes, to interact with storage systems. It allows developers to easily connect and manage different types of storage—like hard drives or cloud storage—so that applications running in containers can access data when needed. CSI simplifies the process of adding, configuring, and managing storage solutions, ensuring that they work together seamlessly across different platforms. This standardization enhances flexibility and portability, making it easier to deploy applications that require persistent data storage in cloud environments or on-premises.
