(A new probe) - NDM UUID will still be under alpha in 1.11, needs upgrade/migration support. - Helm v3 and other build features - Migrated to https://github.com/openebs/charts - Multi-arch support on NDM - Automate builds for NDM, Local PV for PowerSystems - Supportability/Usability enhancements - Adding gRPC API to NDM that will be used by mayactl (aka OpenEBS CLI) to perform disk operations. - gRPC API to help with integration of NDM with Mayastor - 1.12 - NDM SMART metrics on block devices - There could be performance impact depending on reading some metrics depending on hardware vendor. - Can some errors be sampled at different intervals - like daily along with status that is at frequent intervals. - Continue on ZFS Local PV, Mayastor, cStor ### Open Discussion / Backlogs - Review https://github.com/openebs/openebs/blob/master/ROADMAP.md - TODO:Kiran: Mention the CSI spec version to be supported. - Check with Glen, Pawan, Ashutosh for Mayastor, ZFS Local PV, cStor - TODO: NDM support for Chassis Information. (Take help from community) - TODO: CI/e2e pipeline - TODO: RWX - Currently supported via NFS - There may be other variants of this use cases like write once, read many. NFS may not be required. - Is choabfs an option? - Is SMB an option - Current Plan: Phase - 1: - Setup build automation of NFS provisioners from Kubernetes-sigs - Tracked under: * https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/nfs-ganesha-server-and-external-provisioner/pull/2 * https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/nfs-subdir-external-provisioner/pull/2 Phase - 2: - Enhance with NFS stats exporter - Enhance with defaults that help with resiliency - Fix issues around etcd dependency - Fix memory leak issues found during stale mounts Phase - 3: - Add resiliency / high availability with multiple ganesha deployments - TODO: Improvements for running OpenEBS on-premise Kubernetes clusters - South bound provisioners when using on-prem - Fabrics are having CSI support - RAID array features bubbling up into CSI - Will K8s Pool concept get into CSI?

(Take help from community) - Multi arch image - CI/e2e pipeline - Mayastor - Integrate with NDM to get unclaimed disks - NDM should be able to detect that mayastor is setup on the devices - RWX - Currently supported via NFS - There may be other variants of this use cases like write once, read many. NFS may not be required. - Is choabfs an option? - Is SMB an option - Cloud Native Slack - Migration will happen in May - Improvements for running OpenEBS on-premise Kubernetes clusters - South bound provisioners when using on-prem - Error messages are hard to understand for non-k8s users. - Start with NDM, bubble up errors related to presence of filesystems, why devices are usable - cStor volume attachment. - K8s message on attachment comes first. - disk clean up?
