Has anyone considered or looked into using IPFS as a storage options (like a PersistantVolume driver) using the new Container Storage Interface (CSI) [[https://kubernetes.io/blog/2018/01/introducing-container-storage-interface/](https://kubernetes.io/blog/2018/01/introducing-container-storage-interface/)] ?

I thought of the same idea right now 😃 But I do not know where to start and if this feasible at all. My K8s skills are not very strong

Kubernetes Container Storage Interface (CSI) might be a good place to start integrating with IPFS. Thoughts ?

This would be cool. I think [FUSE mount Mutable File System (MFS) · Issue #90 · ipfs/roadmap · GitHub](https://github.com/ipfs/roadmap/issues/90) would a pre-requisite.
