Enabling VMware vSphere Integration for Kubernetes

You can enable direct VMware vSphere snapshot integration for Kubernetes clusters that run the in-tree vsphereVolume (deprecated) plug-in.

Caution

vsphereVolume is in-tree volume plug-in and is deprecated from active Kubernetes releases. Upgrade your VMware cluster to support the Container Storage Interface (CSI) out-of-tree driver.
