# cinder-csi

## Description

This subordinate charm manages the cinder-csi-driver components a Kubernetes cloud deployed on Openstack.

## Usage

The charm requires openstack credentials and connection information, which

can be provided via the `openstack-integration` relation to the [Openstack Integrator charm](https://charmhub.io/openstack-integrator).

## Deployment

### The full process

```
juju deploy charmed-kubernetes

juju config kubernetes-control-plane allow-privileged=true

juju deploy openstack-integrator --trust

juju deploy cinder-csi

juju relate cinder-csi:certificates easyrsa:client

juju relate cinder-csi:kube-control kubernetes-control-plane:kube-control

juju relate cinder-csi:openstack openstack-integrator:clients

## wait for the kubernetes-control-plane to be active/idle
```

### Details

* Requires a `charmed-kubernetes` deployment on a openstack cloud launched by juju
* Deploy the `openstack-integrator` charm into the model using `--trust` so juju provides openstack credentials
* Deploy the `cinder-csi` charm in the model relating to the integrator and to charmed-kubernetes components
* Once the model is active/idle, the storage charm will have successfully deployed the cinder-csi in the `kube-system` namespace
