Enriching a storage provider with container orchestrator metadata in a virtualized computing system

Abstract:

An example method of enriching a storage provider of a virtualized computing system with metadata managed by a container orchestrator executing in the virtualized computing system is described. The method includes detecting, by a metadata sync service executing as an extension of the container orchestrator, metadata that is included in a persistent volume-based (PV-based) object managed by the container orchestrator, the PV-based object referencing a persistent volume; and pushing, by the metadata sync service, the metadata to the storage provider to augment a storage volume object managed by the storage provider, the storage volume object referencing a storage volume backing the persistent volume.
