DISTORT is a high-performance, Kubernetes-native storage engine specifically designed to manage dynamic, disaggregated physical disk allocation. Utilizing NVMe-over-Fabrics (NVMe-oF) via Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) target exports, it orchestrates direct block storage attachments directly between worker nodes at near-local speeds.
For in-depth architectural details, local VM setups, testing workflows, and user manuals, visit our official documentation site:
DISTORT is packaged as a Helm chart under deploy/charts/distort which bundles the manager control plane, node-level storage agents, CSI driver sidecars, and all required RBAC permissions and Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs).
To deploy the entire stack into your cluster inside the distort-system namespace:
helm install distort ./deploy/charts/distort \
--namespace distort-system \
--create-namespaceImportant
Allocate Hardware Devices:
After installation, physical storage devices are not automatically claimed. You must explicitly allocate storage controllers to DISTORT by applying NVMeDeviceClaim Custom Resources.
Learn how to claim hardware and configure StorageClasses in the Using section of the docs.
