About
This driver allows Kubernetes to access Azure File volume using smb and nfs protocols, csi plugin name: file.csi.azure.com
Disclaimer: Deploying this driver manually is not an officially supported Microsoft product. For a fully managed and supported experience on Kubernetes, use AKS with the managed Azure file csi driver.

Driver parameters
Please refer to driver parameters
Prerequisite
Option#1: Provide cloud provider config with Azure credentials
- This option depends on cloud provider config file (here is config example), config file path on different clusters:
- AKS, capz, aks-engine:
/etc/kubernetes/azure.json
- Azure RedHat OpenShift:
/etc/kubernetes/cloud.conf
- AKS, capz, aks-engine:
-
specify a different config file path via configmap
create configmap "azure-cred-file" before driver starts upkubectl create configmap azure-cred-file --from-literal=path="/etc/kubernetes/cloud.conf" --from-literal=path-windows="C:\\k\\cloud.conf" -n kube-system
- Cloud provider config can also be specified via kubernetes secret, check details here
- Make sure identity used by driver has
Contributor
role on node resource group and virtual network resource group
Option#2: Bring your own storage account (only for SMB protocol)
This option does not depend on cloud provider config file, supports cross subscription and on-premise cluster scenario. Refer to detailed steps.
