View weeks ago AWS and NetApp announced that Astra Trident is now available as an EKS add-on.
A nice step to bring EKS and FSxN together. I will show you how you can enable and use this add-on.
The add-on must first be subscribed to before it can be used. Once everything has been completed, the Astra Trident add-on can be activated. In this short video, you can see all the necessary steps.
Now that Trident has been installed, you can continue with the backend configuration. I will share a small example – but for the complete settings take a look into the official documentation:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret

---

storagePrefix: prefix
autoExportPolicy: true
autoExportCIDRs: ['0.0.0.0/0']

Enjoy testing 🙂
