Summary

This document present as a vendor specific KEP for the parent KEP CSI Migration

This inherits all the contents from its parent KEP. It will introduce two new feature gates to be used as as described in its parent KEP. For all other contents, please refer to the parent KEP.

New Feature Gates

• CSIMigrationAWS
  • As describe in CSI Migration, when this feature flag && the CSIMigration is enabled at the same time, the in-tree volume plugin kubernetes.io/aws-ebs will be redirect to use the corresponding CSI driver. From a user perspective, nothing will be noticed.
• InTreePluginAWSUnregister
  • This flag technically is not part of CSI Migration design. But it happens to be related and helps with CSI Migration. The name speaks for itself, when this flag is enabled, kubernetes will not register the kubernetes.io/aws-ebs as one of the in-tree storage plugin provisioners. This flag standalone can work out of CSI Migration features.
  • However, when all InTreePluginAWSUnregister, CSIMigrationAWS and CSIMigration feature flags are enabled at the same time. The kube-controller-manager will skip the feature flag checking on kubelet and treat AWS EBS CSI migration as already complete. And directly redirect traffic to CSI driver for all aws ebs related operations.

Design Details

Test Plan

[X] I/we understand the owners of the involved components may require updates to existing tests to make this code solid enough prior to committing the changes necessary to implement this enhancement.

Prerequisite testing updates

No prerequisite tests are needed.

Unit tests

See https://github.com/kubernetes/csi-translation-lib/blob/master/plugins/aws_ebs_test.go.

Integration tests

N/A

e2e tests

The Kubernetes storage e2e tests are run by an aws-ebs-csi-driver job: https://testgrid.k8s.io/provider-aws-ebs-csi-driver#pull-migration-test. The tests create in-tree volume plugin objects like StorageClasses with provisioner: kubernetes.io/aws-ebs and validate using metrics that all volume operations went to the CSI driver.

Production Readiness Review Questionnaire
