Announcing Subprovisioner, a qsd-powered k8s storage provider

[Alberto Faria]

Hi all,

FYI, I recently released Subprovisioner [1], a
qemu-storage-daemon-powered Kubernetes storage provider that enables
users to provision block volumes backed by a single underlying shared
file system. It works by storing those volumes as qcow2 images and
exposing them as block devices using qemu-storage-daemon. This also
allows it to support features like volume cloning and snapshots
efficiently, by creating overlay images.

A solution like this can be useful, for instance, when one would like
to use a single big NFS share as storage for a Kubernetes cluster.
It's also an interesting use case for qsd.

Thanks,
Alberto Faria
