Container Storage Modules "Important Notice"

🔒 Important Notice

Starting with the release of Container Storage Modules v1.16.0,  will no longer be maintained as an open source project. Future development will continue under a closed source model. This change reflects our commitment to delivering even greater value to our customers by enabling faster innovation and more deeply integrated features with the Dell storage portfolio.
For existing customers using Dell’s Container Storage Modules, you will continue to receive:

  • Ongoing Support & Community Engagement
    You will continue to receive high-quality support through Dell Support and our community channels. Your experience of engaging with the Dell community remains unchanged.
  • Streamlined Deployment & Updates
    Deployment and update processes will remain consistent, ensuring a smooth and familiar experience.
  • Access to Documentation & Resources
    All documentation and related materials will remain publicly accessible, providing transparency and technical guidance.
  • Continued Access to Current Open Source Version
    The current open-source version will remain available under its existing license for those who rely on it.

Moving to a closed source model allows Dell’s development team to accelerate feature delivery and enhance integration across our Enterprise Kubernetes Storage solutions ultimately providing a more seamless and robust experience.
We deeply appreciate the contributions of the open source community and remain committed to supporting our customers through this transition.

For questions or access requests, please contact the maintainers via Dell Support.

OpenAPI Strategy for Dell Storage Models 
To ensure future-proof integration and interoperability across Dell’s storage portfolio, we are adopting a standardized OpenAPI specification strategy for all Dell Storage Models. This approach will:
  • Provide a consistent and transparent interface for developers and integrators.
  • Enable easier automation, observability, and tooling across heterogeneous environments.
  • Support cross-platform client generation, including Python, Java, and Go, using OpenAPI tooling.
While existing Go clients will remain unchanged and will not receive further modifications, new integrations and enhancements will be built on top of the OpenAPI-based abstraction layer. This ensures backward compatibility while enabling forward-looking extensibility.
For questions or access requests, please contact the maintainers via Dell Support.
