vSphere CSI driver allows you to provision volumes over a vSphere deployment. The Kubernetes historic in-tree cloud provider is deprecated and will be removed in future versions.
## Prerequisites
The vSphere user for CSI driver requires a set of privileges to perform Cloud Native Storage operations. Follow the [official guide ](https://vsphere-csi-driver.sigs.k8s.io/driver-deployment/prerequisites.html#roles_and_privileges ) to configure those.
## Kubespray configuration
To enable vSphere CSI driver, uncomment the `vsphere_csi_enabled` option in `group_vars/all/vsphere.yml` and set it to `true` .
To set the number of replicas for the vSphere CSI controller, you can change `vsphere_csi_controller_replicas` option in `group_vars/all/vsphere.yml` .
You need to source the vSphere credentials you use to deploy your machines that will host Kubernetes.
