Deep Dive Into Windows CSI Driver HostProcess Containers

Explore the evolution and implementation of Windows CSI driver HostProcess containers in this conference talk by Andy Zhang and Weizhi Chen from Microsoft. Delve into the history of the Windows csi-proxy project and understand its necessity for Windows CSI drivers since Kubernetes 1.18. Learn about the transition to HostProcess container support in Kubernetes 1.23 and the removal of csi-proxy dependency in version 1.26. Discover key insights and challenges encountered during the migration from csi-proxy dependent deployment to HostProcess container deployment. Gain valuable knowledge on why and how to migrate Windows applications to leverage the benefits of HostProcess containers, ultimately simplifying Windows CSI driver development and deployment.
