Amazon EKS introduces Beta version of Amazon FSx for Lustre CSI Driver

The Amazon FSx for Lustre CSI driver has achieved beta status and is now sustained by Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). The CSI driver composes it elementary to design and utilise FSx for Lustre high functioning file systems with packages on EKS and autonomous Kubernetes clumps functioning on AWS. Amazon FSx for Lustre is an entirely counseled, high functioned file system enhanced for workloads. With FSx for Lustre, one can expeditiously and conveniently swirl up a high-performance file system associated with the S3 data archives, and access S3 objects as files. With the FSx for Lustre CSI driver, one can emphatically equip and mount an FSx for Lustre file system to packages, so that the containerised workloads can constitutionally access and operate data reserved in the file system or S3 data repository. One can utilise the CSI driver to mount and distribute the FSx file system over multiple cases from different nodes. Containerised operations that need high functioning storage can assist from using the FSx for the Lustre file system with the CSI driver. Such features comprise distributed machine learning workloads on the structures such as Tensor-flow and PyTorch, and media refining workloads. Administering high-performance file systems requires specially designed expertise and bureaucratic overhead, required to arrange the storage servers and tune convoluted performance criterion.

Now Amazon EFS CSI Driver Supported by Amazon EKS

Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) offers an easy, scalable and completely organised elastic network file system NFS for utilization with AWS Cloud Services and on-premises resources. And Amazon EFS CSI (Container Storage Interface) Driver offers a CSI interface which permits Amazon EKS clusters to control the lifecycle of Amazon EFS file systems. And now this CSI driver has introduced beta version and supported by Amazon EKS. This EFS CSI driver is easy to configure elastic file storage for EKS and self-managed kubernetes clusters working on AWS with the help of basic Kubernetes interfaces. Applications executing in Kubernetes can utilize EFS file systems to share data within pods in a scale-out group, or with other applications working inside or outside of Kubernetes. Besides, Amazon EFS support Kubernetes applications be extensively obtainable cause each data written to EFS is corresponded to several AWS Availability Zones. Refer documentation to design a Kubernetes StorageClass and a PersistentVolumeClaim to provision, then reference the PersistentVolumeClaim from the pods that use it. To get more details, go through Amazon EKS and Amazon EFS.
