Initial Release
csi-driver-spiffe is a Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver plugin for Kubernetes to work along cert-manager. This CSI driver transparently delivers SPIFFE SVIDs in the form of X.509 certificate key pairs to mounting Kubernetes Pods.
The end result is all and any Pod running in Kubernetes can securely request their SPIFFE identity document from a Trust Domain with minimal configuration. These documents are:
automatically renewed; ✔️
private key never leaves the node's virtual memory; ✔️
each Pod's document is unique; ✔️
the document shares the same life cycle as the Pod and is destroyed on Pod termination. ✔️
...

SPIFFE documents can be used for mutual TLS (mTLS) or authentication by Pod's within its Trust Domain.
