### Promoted CSI Ephemeral Volume to Stable

## Prerequisites

- Helm cli with Kubernetes cluster configured.
- PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure. (We recommend using <https://github.com/minio/direct-csi>)
- Use Kubernetes version v1.19 and later for best experience.

## Configure MinIO Helm repo

```bash
helm repo add minio https://charts.min.io/
```

### Installing the Chart

Install this chart using:

  volume type when the kubelet was started, affecting the following volume types
  when the corresponding csi driver was installed:
  - `awsElasticBlockStore` for `ebs.csi.aws.com`
  - `azureDisk` for `disk.csi.azure.com`
  - `gcePersistentDisk` for `pd.csi.storage.googleapis.com`
  - `cinder` for `cinder.csi.openstack.org`
  - `csi`

#### Storage

- When PodInfoOnMount is enabled for a CSI driver, the new csi.storage.k8s.io/ephemeral parameter in the volume context allows a driver's NodePublishVolume implementation to determine on a case-by-case basis whether the volume is ephemeral or a normal persistent volume ([#79983](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79983), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

- CephRBD volume plugin ( `kubernetes.io/rbd`) was removed in this release. And its csi migration support was also removed, so the `rbd` volume type became non-functional. Alternative is to use RBD CSI driver (https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/) in your Kubernetes Cluster. A re-deployment of your application is required to use the new driver if you were using `kubernetes.io/rbd` volume plugin before upgrading cluster...

- Fixed an issue where a CSI migrated volume may be prematurely detached when the CSI driver is not running on the node.

        ALL(2, "ALL");

 - [Action Required] CSI drivers that call IsLikelyNotMountPoint should not assume false means that the path is a mount point. Each CSI driver needs to make sure correct usage of return value of IsLikelyNotMountPoint because if the file is an irregular file but not a mount point is acceptable ([#129370](https://github.com/kube...

 - Deprecated support for CSI migration of `Ceph RBD volumes`. Users who were relying on Kubernetes' ability

- Remove check for CSI driver running on node for CSI migration ([#115772](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115772), [@sunnylovestiramisu](https://github.com/sunnylovestiramisu)) [SIG Apps and Storage]
