AIStor's Administrative Console provides real-time monitoring and configuration across your entire deployment. Under the hood, Kubernetes-native automation handles the heavy lifting: MinIO DirectPV provisions direct-attached storage while AIStor Operator manages tenant lifecycles automatically. No external dependencies, no SAN/NAS overhead.
AIStor’s three-layer architecture delivers seamless, production-grade object storage with full Kubernetes-native automation and visibility.
AIStor Admin Console
Browser-based GUI for cluster administration, real-time performance monitoring, and multi-tenant management. Dashboards display 24-hour metrics with drill-down visibility into pools, buckets, and objects.
AIStor Operator Control Plane
Kubernetes operator managing tenant lifecycle through ObjectStore custom resource definitions. Automates StatefulSet creation, certificate generation, and configuration updates via controller-runtime reconciliation.
MinIO Direct PV
CSI driver provisioning direct-attached storage with pod-aware isolation. Eliminates SAN/NAS network hops, delivering local disk performance without traditional storage infrastructure overhead.
Operator-Managed Tenant Lifecycle
AIStor Operator uses controller-runtime to manage seven CRDs, StatefulSets, leader election, rate-limited reconciliation, auto-generated Kubernetes-CA TLS, and sidecar-driven config and key management, all following the Kubernetes operator pattern.
ObjectStore CRD
Declarative tenant definition with pools and enterprise features
StatefulSet Automation
Managed MinIO server pods with rolling updates
Certificate Management
Auto-generated TLS via Kubernetes API
Sidecar Configuration
Dynamic config and key management without restarts
Get the Complete Technical Details
Comprehensive documentation covering Volume Manager CSI driver specifications, ObjectStore CRD schema, operator controller architecture, StatefulSet management, and integration patterns for all three components.
Traditional Kubernetes storage deployments require assembling separate CSI drivers, operators, monitoring tools, and management interfaces. Each component introduces external dependencies, configuration complexity, and potential failure points. SAN and NAS-based CSI drivers add network hops that create latency penalties. Organizations spend more time managing storage infrastructure than using it. AIStor delivers a fully integrated stack with no external dependencies.
