These extension points can now be abstracted away due to their irrelevance for most users.

### CSI Migration updates

CSI Migration enables the replacement of existing in-tree storage plugins such as `kubernetes.io/gce-pd` or `kubernetes.io/aws-ebs` with a corresponding CSI driver.
If CSI Migration is working properly, Kubernetes end users shouldn’t notice a difference.

SIG Storage also worked on a number of [Container Storage Interface (CSI) features](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/178) this quarter in anticipation of moving support for CSI from beta to GA in the next Kubernetes release. This includes graduating the dependent “mount namespace propagation” feature to GA, moving the Kubelet plugin registration mechanism to beta, adding alpha support for a new CSI driver registry as well as for topology, and adding a number of alpha features...

### Container Storage Interface graduations

CSI support for Windows nodes moves to GA in the 1.22 release. In Kubernetes v1.22, Windows privileged containers are only an alpha feature. To allow using CSI storage on Windows nodes, [CSIProxy](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-proxy) enables CSI node plugins to be deployed as unprivileged pods, using the proxy to perform privileged storage operations on the node.

### Continued improvement of CSI

### CSI Proxy for Windows

The CSI Proxy for Windows is being promoted to beta along with the 1.19 release. This CSI Proxy enables CSI Drivers to run on Windows by allowing containers in Windows to perform privileged storage operations. At beta, the CSI Proxy for Windows supports storage drivers using direct attached disks and SMB.

### Dashboard v2

  - `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`

  General Support for vSphere 6.7 will end on October 15, 2022. vSphere 6.7 Update 3 is deprecated in Kubernetes v1.24.  Customers are recommended to upgrade vSphere (both ESXi and vCenter) to 7.0u2 or above.  vSphere CSI Driver 2.2.3 and higher supports CSI Migration.

* Fix setup of configmap/secret/projected/downwardapi volumes ([#64855](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64855), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))
* Added default ClusterRoles for external CSI components csi-external-provisioner and csi-external-attacher ([#65073](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65073), [@davidz627](https://github.com/davidz627))

## 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/
```
