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.

Dell Container Storage Modules Operator is a Kubernetes native application which helps in installing and managing CSI Drivers and CSM Modules provided by Dell Technologies for its various storage platforms. Dell Container Storage Modules Operator uses Kubernetes CRDs (Custom Resource Definitions) to define a manifest that describes the deployment specifications for each driver to be deployed.
Dell Container Storage Modules Operator is built using the operator framework and runs custom Kubernetes controllers to manage the driver installations. These controllers listen for any create/update/delete request for the respective CRDs and try to reconcile the request.
For more detailed information on the driver, please refer to Container Storage Modules documentation.
