NetApp Storage Integration Overview
NetApp provides a number of products which assist our customers with orchestrating and managing persistent data in container-based environments like Anthos.
Anthos Ready storage partner program.
Google Cloud periodically requests updated validation of partner storage integrations with new releases of Anthos through their Anthos Ready storage partner program. A list of currently validated storage solutions, CSI drivers, available features, and the versions of Anthos supported can be found here.
NetApp has maintained regular compliance on a quarterly basis with requests to validate our Trident CSI-compliant storage orchestrator and our ONTAP storage system with versions of Anthos.
The following table contains the Anthos versions tested by NetApp and NetApp partner engineers for validation of NetApp Trident CSI drivers and feature sets as a part of the Anthos Ready storage partner program:
