Notable Changes

We have added more features for Jiva, CStor storage engines to make OpenEBS upgrades easier.

• The Jiva data plane components can be upgraded via the CLI after the Jiva control-plane components are upgraded.
• The Cstor CSPCs can be upgraded via the CLI, after the cstor control-plane components are upgraded.

We have added some missing features which make understanding dynamically provisioned storage on Kubernetes easier for everyone.

• The PVC describe output will now also show pods which are consuming the volume.
• The CLI can generate optimised CStor Pool Volume specs using the existing blockdevices in a cluster.

Other minor changes

• Add config for a development environment in the cloud, GitPod

What's Next

• Support for upgrading cstor volumes.
• Support for moving the pool to new nodes, if the disks are already moved to new node.
• Ability to generate raise GitHub issues with required troubleshooting information.
• Support for performing sanity checks and flagging discrepancies like listing stale volumes or over-utilised pools.
