Amazon EFS CSI Driver

The Amazon Elastic File System Container Storage Interface (CSI) Driver implements the CSI specification for container orchestrators to manage the lifecycle of Amazon EFS file systems.

CSI Specification Compatibility Matrix

AWS EFS CSI Driver \ CSI Spec Version v0.3.0 v1.1.0 v1.2.0
master branch no no yes
v1.0.0 no no yes
v0.3.0 no yes no
v0.2.0 no yes no
v0.1.0 yes no no

Features

Currently only static provisioning is supported. This means an AWS EFS file system needs to be created manually on AWS first. After that it can be mounted inside a container as a volume using the driver.

The following CSI interfaces are implemented:

  • Node Service: NodePublishVolume, NodeUnpublishVolume, NodeGetCapabilities, NodeGetInfo, NodeGetId
  • Identity Service: GetPluginInfo, GetPluginCapabilities, Probe

Encryption In Transit

One of the advantages of using EFS is that it provides encryption in transit support using TLS. Using encryption in transit, data will be encrypted during its transition over the network to the EFS service. This provides an extra layer of defence-in-depth for applications that requires strict security compliance.

Encryption in transit is enabled by default in the master branch version of the driver. To disable it and mount volumes using plain NFSv4, set volumeAttributes field encryptInTransit to "false" in your persistent volume manifest. For an example manifest, see Encryption in Transit Example.

Note Kubernetes version 1.13+ is required if you are using this feature in Kubernetes.

EFS CSI Driver on Kubernetes

The following sections are Kubernetes specific. If you are a Kubernetes user, use this for driver features, installation steps and examples.

Kubernetes Version Compability Matrix

v1.0.0 GA no no no yes yes yes yes

Container Images

EFS CSI Driver Version Image
master branch amazon/aws-efs-csi-driver:master
v1.0.0 amazon/aws-efs-csi-driver:v1.0.0
v0.3.0 amazon/aws-efs-csi-driver:v0.3.0
v0.2.0 amazon/aws-efs-csi-driver:v0.2.0
v0.1.0 amazon/aws-efs-csi-driver:v0.1.0

Features

  • Static provisioning - EFS file system needs to be created manually first, then it could be mounted inside container as a persistent volume (PV) using the driver.
  • Mount Options - Mount options can be specified in the persistent volume (PV) to define how the volume should be mounted.
  • Encryption of data in transit - EFS file systems are mounted with encryption in transit enabled by default in the master branch version of the driver.

Notes:

  • Since EFS is an elastic file system it doesn't really enforce any file system capacity. The actual storage capacity value in persistent volume and persistent volume claim is not used when creating the file system. However, since the storage capacity is a required field by Kubernetes, you must specify the value and you can use any valid value for the capacity.

Installation

Deploy the driver:

If you want to deploy the stable driver:

kubectl apply -k "github.com/kubernetes-sigs/aws-efs-csi-driver/deploy/kubernetes/overlays/stable/?ref=release-1.0"

If you want to deploy the development driver:

kubectl apply -k "github.com/kubernetes-sigs/aws-efs-csi-driver/deploy/kubernetes/overlays/dev/?ref=master"

Alternatively, you could also install the driver using helm:

helm repo add aws-efs-csi-driver https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/aws-efs-csi-driver/
helm install aws-efs-csi-driver aws-efs-csi-driver/aws-efs-csi-driver

Examples

Before the example, you need to:

  • Get yourself familiar with how to setup Kubernetes on AWS and how to create EFS file system.
  • When creating EFS file system, make sure it is accessible from Kuberenetes cluster. This can be achieved by creating the file system inside the same VPC as Kubernetes cluster or using VPC peering.
  • Install EFS CSI driver following the Installation steps.
