Applies to

  • NetApp Trident
  • Kubernetes CSI Topology Feature

Answer

Yes, Trident can selectively create and attach volumes to nodes present in a Kubernetes cluster by making use of the CSI Topology feature.

Using the CSI Topology feature, access to volumes can be limited to a subset of nodes, based on regions and availability zones. Cloud providers today enable Kubernetes administrators to spawn nodes that are zone based. Nodes can be located in different availability zones within a region, or across various regions. To facilitate the provisioning of volumes for workloads in a multi-zone architecture, Trident uses CSI Topology.
