The CSI Snapshot API provides users a consistent way of creating volume snapshots within Kubernetes, regardless of their storage provider. This is a big improvement over the prior, provider-specific methods for creating snapshots. This session will first cover the basic CSI Snapshot CRDs, as well as demo snapshotting and restoring a stateful application. Additionally, we'll share how disaster recovery tools, such as the open-source Velero, can build on CSI Snapshots, as well as future enhancements coming to CSI, and what migrations from current in-tree cloud provider implementations will look like. Agenda: - Overview of the CSI Snapshot CRDs - Demo of snapshot and restore workflow - Future direction for application snapshotting and quiescing in CSI https://sched.co/UaXR
