Container Service for Kubernetes:csi-compatible-controller

Last Updated:Mar 25, 2026

The csi-compatible-controller add-on lets FlexVolume and Container Storage Interface (CSI) storage coexist in the same cluster, so you can migrate from FlexVolume to CSI storage at your own pace.

Capabilities

Installing csi-compatible-controller on a FlexVolume cluster enables the following:

  • Run FlexVolume and CSI storage on the same node simultaneously.

  • Gradually migrate workloads from FlexVolume to CSI without a full cutover.

After installation, deploy the csi-provisioner and csi-plugin add-ons using YAML files to provision CSI volumes. For a step-by-step migration walkthrough, see Migrate from FlexVolume to CSI storage using csi-compatible-controller.

Install the add-on

Install csi-compatible-controller from the Add-ons page of your FlexVolume cluster.
