introduces the Container Object Storage Interface (COSI), a
standard for provisioning and consuming object storage in
Kubernetes.It is an alpha feature in Kubernetes v1.25. File and
block storage are treated as first class citizens in the Kubernetes
ecosystem via Container Storage Interface (CSI).Workloads
using CSI volumes enjoy the benefits of portability across vendors
and across Kubernetes clusters without the need to change
application manifests.An equivalent standard does not exist for
Object storage.
