csi-snapshotter is a Kubernetes CSI sidecar component that manages volume snapshots and restore operations by watching VolumeSnapshot objects and coordinating with CSI drivers.
csi-snapshotter is a Kubernetes Container Storage Interface (CSI) sidecar component that manages volume snapshots and
restore operations. It watches for VolumeSnapshot and VolumeSnapshotContent objects and coordinates snapshot
creation and deletion with CSI drivers through gRPC calls.
The component monitors the Kubernetes API for snapshot operations, calls the CSI driver's CreateSnapshot and
DeleteSnapshot methods, and manages the complete lifecycle of volume snapshots. It supports leader election for high
availability and integrates seamlessly with the Kubernetes snapshot controller.
