Red Hat OpenShift is the industry’s leading hybrid cloud application platform powered by Kubernetes. Using OpenShift simplifies and accelerates the development, delivery, and lifecycle management of a hybrid mix of applications, delivering more consistency across on-premise, public clouds, and at the edge. This blog highlights the HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 and the capabilities enabled for Red Hat OpenShift using the HPE CSI Operator for OpenShift. HPE GreenLake for File Storage and HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000 are both platforms that also may be used directly with OpenShift using native protocols. Several efforts are underway to unlock integration points for OpenShift customers to take advantage of the entire portfolio in a more seamless manner through CSI and COSI drivers in the future. The HPE CSI driver for Kubernetes is a comprehensive CSI driver packaged in the Red Hat certified HPE CSI operator for OpenShift. It features all the relevant capabilities for private cloud OpenShift and OpenShift Virtualization, while providing several innovations outside the CSI spec to differentiate the B10000 from being just a storage solution using CSI extensions and customer resource definitions (CRD).
