MesosCon Europe 2017

Over the past 2 years there has been a huge shift involving stateful applications becoming a mainstream feature used by most container users. This has been observed by storage vendors, the Mesos project, and on other container orchestrator platforms. The Container Storage Interface (CSI) is modeled on the successful CNCF sponsored OCI and CNI interoperability initiatives in the container and network space respectively. Its goal is to provide a vendor neutral, curated specification that allows standardized storage plugins to be published and utilized across multiple container orchestrators, including Mesos.

This session will cover the architecture of the CSI. Multiple speakers will address the benefits a standardized storage interface can offer to users, from the perspective of both a container orchestrator and from a storage provider that wishes to support multiple platforms.
