Code of conduct

Participation in the Kubernetes community is governed by the Kubernetes Code of Conduct.

How it works:

Currently the driver makes use of buildah to download the container image if it is not already available, launch a new instance of it named after the volumeHandle, and mount it.

In the future, integration with CRI would be desirable so the driver could ask via CRI that the Container Runtime perform these activities in a generic way.

Usage:

This is a prototype driver. Do not use for production

It also requires features that are still in development.

Build imageplugin

$ make image
