Enabling Kubernetes on ThinkSystem DM Series and DE Series

ThinkSystem DM Series and DE Series storage systems support containerized workloads that can be deployed with dynamic orchestration within a Kubernetes cluster. This document describes how set up a DM or DE Series storage system for storage provisioning and how to deploy the first container on a Kubernetes cluster.

The paper also describes how ThinkSystem DM supports the use of Trident. Trident is an open-source container storage interface (CSI) project maintained by NetApp that deploys in a Kubernetes cluster as a pod to provide dynamic storage orchestration within the cluster. The use of Trident streamlines the process for provisioning storage for pods.

Readers should be familiar with storage administration on DM Series or DE Series, Linux administration, and Kubernetes cluster management and deployment.
