Snapshot Volume Plugin Interface

As illustrated in example plugin hostPath

Plugin API

A Volume plugin must provide RegisterPlugin() to return plugin struct, GetPluginName() to return plugin name, and implement the following interface as illustrated in hostPath

type VolumePlugin interface {
	// Init inits volume plugin
	Init(cloudprovider.Interface)
	// SnapshotCreate creates a VolumeSnapshot from a PersistentVolumeSpec
	SnapshotCreate(*v1.PersistentVolumeSpec) (*tprv1.VolumeSnapshotDataSource, error)
	// SnapshotDelete deletes a VolumeSnapshot
	// PersistentVolume is provided for volume types, if any, that need PV Spec to delete snapshot
	SnapshotDelete(*tprv1.VolumeSnapshotDataSource, *v1.PersistentVolume) error
}

Volume Snapshot Data Source Spec

Each volume must also provide a Snapshot Data Source Spec and add to VolumeSnapshotDataSource, then declare support in GetSupportedVolumeFromPVC by returning the exact name as returned by the plugin's GetPluginName()

Invocation

The plugins are added to Snapshot controller cmd pkg.
