Deploying an experimental MinIO single-node cluster with DirectPV

MinIO is an open-source high performance object storage solution. It is designed to be distributed and can be deployed on Kubernetes clusters with ease. MinIO requires some sort of persistent storage to store its objects. However, with its built-in erasure coding and hashmap, deploying MinIO on redundant volumes is a surplus, and could result in performance drops and disk overhead. To simplify its storage model, MinIO project has proposed DirectPV, a CSI driver for Direct Attached Storage. In practice, it is recommended to provision storage for MinIO using DirectPV.

Here is a simple guide on deploying a single-node MinIO instance with DirectPV on Kubernetes. TBD
