CSI storage driver support on AKS

The Container Storage Interface (CSI) is a standard for exposing arbitrary block and file storage systems to containerized workloads on Kubernetes. By adopting and using CSI, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) can write, deploy, and iterate plug-ins to expose new or improve existing storage systems in Kubernetes without having to touch the core Kubernetes code and wait for its release cycles.

The CSI storage driver support on AKS allows us to natively use:

Azure disks can be used to create a Kubernetes DataDisk resource. Disks can use Azure Premium Storage, backed by high-performance SSDs, or Azure Standard Storage, backed by regular HDDs or Standard SSDs.

For most production and development workloads, we need to use Premium Storage. Azure disks are mounted as ReadWriteOnce and are only available to a single pod. For storage volumes that can be accessed by multiple pods simultaneously, we need to use Azure Files.

Azure Files can be used to mount an SMB 3.0/3.1 share backed by an Azure storage account to pods. With Azure Files, we can share data across multiple nodes and pods. Azure Files can use Azure Standard storage backed by regular HDDs or Azure Premium storage backed by high-performance SSDs.
