Announcing Kadalu Storage 0.7

Added documentation for Storage classes. This document explains Kadalu Storage classes, which are available by default, and also describes how to create Custom Storage classes.

Use Kadalu as an alternative to local storage - Replica 1 storage pool type is beneficial for many applications that don’t require replication. In the previous releases, the PV claim doesn’t have the option to specify node affinity while choosing the Kadalu Storage pool.

kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
  name: kadalu.local-node2
provisioner: kadalu
parameters:
  node_affinity: "node2.example.com"  # Node name as shown in `kubectl get nodes`

kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: pv1
spec:
  storageClassName: kadalu.local-node2
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteMany
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 10Gi

Experimental Arm support - Kadalu container images are built for Arm, please try and provide feedback to make this support stable. Start the operator with kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kadalu/kadalu/master/manifests/kadalu-operator-master.yml (Or using kubectl kadalu install --version=master if Kadalu Kubectl plugin is installed) to get started! Once we have few users confirming it works, will tag it in a release!

Python2 support added to Kadalu Kubectl extension - Install using, sudo pip install kubectl-kadalu

Kadalu now works with Kubernetes 1.18

Kadalu Server and CSI container images are upgraded to the latest stable release of Gluster(7.5).

Fixed an issue of Server pods not starting due to long names. Removed hostname identifier from the Server pod names so that the Server pod name length will be well within limits. Use kubectl get pods -n kadalu -o wide to see the hostnames.
