6.2. Available dynamic provisioning plug-ins
OpenShift Container Platform provides the following provisioner plug-ins, which have generic implementations for dynamic provisioning that use the cluster’s configured provider’s API to create new storage resources:
| Storage type | Provisioner plug-in name | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) Cinder |
| |
| RHOSP Manila Container Storage Interface (CSI) |
| Once installed, the OpenStack Manila CSI Driver Operator and ManilaDriver automatically create the required storage classes for all available Manila share types needed for dynamic provisioning. |
| AWS Elastic Block Store (EBS) |
|
For dynamic provisioning when using multiple clusters in different zones, tag each node with |
| Azure Disk |
| |
| Azure File |
|
The |
| GCE Persistent Disk (gcePD) |
| In multi-zone configurations, it is advisable to run one OpenShift Container Platform cluster per GCE project to avoid PVs from being created in zones where no node in the current cluster exists. |
|
|
Any chosen provisioner plug-in also requires configuration for the relevant cloud, host, or third-party provider as per the relevant documentation.
