Kubernetes dynamic persistent volume in vmware?

Question

VMware

There is a kubernetes cluster already working, deployed on virtual machines inside the vmware cluster. A large disk storage such as HP MSA 2040 connected to the cluster is used.
Is it possible to configure the creation of dynamic persistent volumes in VMFS in the kuberenet? Where to read, what technologies are possible? I do not want to create balls based on regular NFS.
Can it be used with GlusterFS or CephFS? Need to acquire basic knowledge about it and how to configure

If this is a vsphere cluster, then you can connect the vsphere controller storage interface (CSI) https://vsphere-csi-driver.sigs.k8s.io/
You need:
- vsphere version not lower than 6.7U3
- datastore for storing disks that will be PV in kuber
- service account with the necessary rights https://vsphere-csi-driver.sigs.k8s.io/driver-depl...
- deploy vsphere cloud provider interface (CPI) https://vsphere-csi-driver in kuber. sigs.k8s.io/driver-depl... and then CSI components https://vsphere-csi-driver.sigs.k8s.io/driver-depl...
To deploy CPI and CSI, you can take helm charts that I did according to the manifests from the docks:
