This driver allows Kubernetes to access Azure Storage through one of following methods:

• azure-storage-fuse
• NFSv3

Disclaimer: Deploying this driver manually is not an officially supported Microsoft product. For a fully managed and supported experience on Kubernetes, use AKS with the managed blob csi driver.

Please refer to blob.csi.azure.com driver parameters

• This option depends on cloud provider config file (here is config example), config file path on different clusters:
  • AKS, capz, aks-engine: /etc/kubernetes/azure.json
  • Azure RedHat OpenShift: /etc/kubernetes/cloud.conf
• specify a different config file path via configmap

  
  create configmap "azure-cred-file" before driver starts up
  

  kubectl create configmap azure-cred-file --from-literal=path="/etc/kubernetes/cloud.conf" --from-literal=path-windows="C:\\k\\cloud.conf" -n kube-system

• Cloud provider config can also be specified via kubernetes secret, check details here
• Make sure identity used by driver has Contributor role on node resource group and virtual network resource group

This option does not depend on cloud provider config file, supports cross subscription and on-premise cluster scenario. Refer to detailed steps.

Note: this feature is only available in v1.19.5, v1.21.1 and later versions.

Execute following command to install a specific version of blobfuse v2 once driver is running on the agent node:

kubectl patch daemonset csi-blob-node -n kube-system -p '{"spec":{"template":{"spec":{"initContainers":[{"env":[{"name":"INSTALL_BLOBFUSE2","value":"true"},{"name":"BLOBFUSE2_VERSION","value":"2.3.2"}],"name":"install-blobfuse-proxy"}]}}}}'

Execute following command to install a specific version of blobfuse v1 once driver is running on the agent node:

kubectl patch daemonset csi-blob-node -n kube-system -p '{"spec":{"template":{"spec":{"initContainers":[{"env":[{"name":"INSTALL_BLOBFUSE","value":"true"},{"name":"BLOBFUSE_VERSION","value":"1.4.5"}],"name":"install-blobfuse-proxy"}]}}}}'
