In this video, we walk you through a complete and practical demonstration of how to create a CSI volume using the NFS protocol and manage snapshots with QSM4. Whether you are deploying Kubernetes storage for the first time or looking to optimize your existing storage workflow, this step-by-step guide will help you understand each part of the process clearly and efficiently. We begin by explaining the essential concepts behind CSI (Container Storage Interface) and why NFS remains one of the most flexible and widely supported protocols for containerized environments. You will learn how to prepare the environment, configure the necessary YAML files, and successfully provision a persistent volume through the CSI driver. Next, we showcase how QSM4 enhances storage operations by offering fast and reliable snapshot capabilities. This video demonstrates how to create snapshots, verify them, and understand how they can be leveraged for data protection, backup strategies, and rapid recovery scenarios. Whether you're a system administrator, DevOps engineer, or someone working with Kubernetes storage solutions, this tutorial provides a clear and actionable workflow that you can replicate in your own setup.

Use Clear and Consistent Naming Conventions: When creating CSI volumes and snapshots, adopt a standardized naming format. This makes it much easier to manage resources across multiple namespaces or large-scale deployments. 2. Verify NFS Server Permissions and Network Connectivity: Before deployment, ensure that all Kubernetes nodes can properly reach the NFS server. Double-check export permissions to avoid PV/PVC creation failures due to mount issues. 3. Regularly Review and Clean Up Snapshots Although QSM4 snapshots are efficient, accumulating too many over time can still impact storage usage. Periodically review and remove outdated snapshots to maintain optimal performance. #Kubernetes #CSI #NFS #QSM4 #StorageSnapshot #PersistentVolume #DevOps #CloudNative #K8sStorage #TechTutorial #DataProtection #SnapshotManagement #ContainerStorage #infrastructure
