April 2020 Summaries

Vultr has expanded its Kubernetes support with two new offerings that simplify deployment on its platform: the Vultr Container Storage Interface (CSI) and Condor. The Vultr CSI allows container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes to automatically provision and manage volumes within clusters by defining a Persistent Volume Claim, ensuring seamless attachment and detachment of volumes to assigned pods. Condor, a Terraform module developed by Vultr, streamlines the installation and configuration of Kubernetes clusters by automating the integration of Vultr-specific plugins such as the Vultr Cloud Controller Manager (CCM) and CSI, along with private networking capabilities. Users can tailor their clusters by specifying parameters like Kubernetes and Docker versions or worker count. These enhancements aim to make Kubernetes deployment on Vultr faster and more efficient, with additional resources and updates available on their GitHub page.
