TopoLVM

TopoLVM is a CSI plugin using LVM for Kubernetes. It can be considered as a specific implementation of local persistent volumes using CSI and LVM.

  • Project Status: Testing for production
  • Conformed CSI version: 1.1.0

Supported environments

  • Kubernetes
    • 1.14
    • 1.15
    • 1.16
  • Node OS
    • Linux with LVM2
  • Filesystems
    • ext4
    • xfs
    • btrfs

Features

  • Dynamic provisioning: Volumes are created dynamically when PersistentVolumeClaim objects are created.
  • Raw block volume: Volumes are available as block devices inside containers.
  • Topology: TopoLVM uses CSI topology feature to schedule Pod to Node where LVM volume exist.
  • Extended scheduler: TopoLVM extends the general Pod scheduler to prioritize Nodes having larger storage capacity.
  • Volume metrics: Usage stats are exported as Prometheus metrics from kubelet.

Planned features

Programs

A diagram of components is available in docs/design.md.

This repository contains these programs:

  • topolvm-controller: CSI controller service.
  • topolvm-scheduler: A scheduler extender for TopoLVM.
  • topolvm-node: CSI node service.
  • lvmd: gRPC service to manage LVM volumes.

lvmd is a standalone program that should be run on Node OS as a systemd service. Other programs are packaged into a container image.

Getting started

A demonstration of TopoLVM running on kind (Kubernetes IN Docker) is available at example directory.

For production deployments, see deploy directory.

User manual is at docs/user-manual.md.

Documentation

docs directory contains documents about designs and specifications.
