The Google Cloud Managed Lustre Container Storage Interface (CSI) Plugin.
WARNING: Manual deployment of the driver is intended for test environments only. DO NOT use it in production clusters. Instead, customers should rely on GKE to automatically deploy and manage the CSI driver as an add-on feature, which will be available in Q2 2025.
The Lustre CSI driver allows k8s workloads (a group of k8s pods) to connect to Google Cloud Managed Lustre instances - transparently through the Kubernetes Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs) API. The Lustre CSI driver supports creating and deleting Google Cloud Managed Lustre instances, as well as mounting and unmounting them on GKE nodes in response to CSI calls, ensuring transparent and efficient integration with GKE environments.
