OpenShift Plugin Overview

The Lightbits CSI driver provides a robust solution for provisioning storage from the Lightbits data platform to Kubernetes pods running in the OpenShift environment. This integration allows users to leverage the high-performance capabilities of Lightbits with the powerful orchestration features of OpenShift.

The Lightbits CSI driver operator is a certified operator from the Red Hat OpenShift platform, having passed all prerequisites for container images and deployment. This certification ensures a seamless and reliable integration. Users can easily install and uninstall the Lightbits operator with just a few clicks from the OpenShift catalog, making deployment straightforward. The operator then facilitates the installation of the CSI driver.

The Lightbits CSI driver for the OpenShift environment uses RHEL-based Universal Base Images (UBI) for its CSI and container images.
