CSI: Storage, with Saad Ali - a podcast by Adam Glick and Craig Box

More gripping than a crime scene in Las Vegas, the Container Storage Interface (CSI) lets vendors interface with Kubernetes. Saad Ali from Google led development of Kubernetes storage, including the CSI and volume subsystem. He joins hosts Adam and Craig for an in-depth look at how storage works in Kubernetes.
