Scality releases open source COSI and CSI drivers to streamline Kubernetes object and file storage provisioning
driver, compatible with any S3-compatible object storage solution—including Scality's and A Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver that allows Kubernetes to provision file storage directly from RING S3 buckets
COSI is an open Kubernetes standard that enables cloud-native applications to provision and consume object storage — such as S3 buckets — using familiar Kubernetes APIs and workflows. Much like the CSI standard for file storage, COSI brings object storage into the Kubernetes ecosystem as a first-class resource. Scality's COSI driver automates bucket provisioning, credential management, and access controls — eliminating the need for manual configuration or custom scripts.
CSI is an open source interface that enables native Kubernetes integration. It allows developers to provision, attach, mount, and manage file storage volumes directly within their Kubernetes workflows, leveraging massive scale out capabilities of RING.
Users gain streamlined S3 storage operations for both object and file storage
These latest Scality innovations empower organizations and cloud service providers to streamline operations and accelerate development by allowing applications to dynamically request object storage resources using standard Kubernetes APIs. The COSI and CSI drivers automatically handle the backend provisioning of S3 buckets, identity and access management (IAM) credentials, and access configuration all without user intervention.
'Our new COSI and CSI drivers bridge the gap between Kubernetes-native application development and enterprise-grade object storage,' said Erwan Girard, Chief Product Officer, Scality Inc. 'By leveraging the standard S3 and IAM APIs — instead of proprietary protocols — we're providing developers with a completely transparent, standards-based interface for scalable, secure, persistent storage.'
Fully integrated Kubernetes storage, delivered via open source
Unlike alternate methods that require manual configuration or custom scripting, the Scality COSI driver tightly integrates with Kubernetes orchestration. Application developers can simply define bucket claims and access resources within their Kubernetes manifests. The driver automates the creation of S3 buckets on Scality RING, generates user credentials, and stores them securely in Kubernetes for use — all within seconds.
This seamless developer experience is made possible through Scality's commitment to Kubernetes-native workflows and open-source innovation. Both the COSI and complementary CSI drivers are available as open-source projects, giving users full transparency and flexibility.
'By releasing our COSI and CSI drivers as open source, we're contributing to the broader Kubernetes and cloud-native ecosystem,' said Girard. 'This aligns with our long-standing philosophy of openness and customer choice and reflects our leadership in delivering next-generation solutions for modern applications.'
Automatic S3 bucket access for Kubernetes workloads
The new COSI driver for RING is especially valuable for enterprises and cloud service providers that rely on Kubernetes as a foundation for scalable applications and need integrated access to object storage that is both performant and cost-effective. Whether operating in a private data center or a multi-tenant cloud platform, users benefit from: Kubernetes-native provisioning of S3-compatible object storage
Fully automated credential and bucket management via IAM integration
Open source availability for transparency and extensibility
Support for Scality RING, the industry's fastest object store, also available in all-flash (RING XP) for high-performance workloads
Optional file system support via Scality's CSI driver
The new Scality open source drivers support a broad range of use cases including cloud-native development, DevOps workflows, data pipeline integration, and multi-tenant SaaS platforms. In addition to Scality's COSI driver, the CSI driver enables file-based access for Kubernetes workloads that require access to a POSIX-like file system volume while still benefiting from the scalability and cost-efficiency of object storage behind the scenes. This is particularly useful for service providers looking to implement pay-as-you-go billing models that enable users to only pay for what they consume, rather than over-provisioning fixed-capacity file system volumes.
'Scality's S3 object storage easily scales with demand, provides fast, easy access to data, and offers advanced protection to ensure uninterrupted business operations,' said Jeyhun Garayev, Director of Information Technology Department, AzInTelecom. 'The RING environment gives us the flexibility to adapt and expand our infrastructure as our business evolves.'
Available now for Scality RING, ARTESCA and the open source community
The new COSI driver is compatible with both Scality RING and ARTESCA, while the CSI driver is fully qualified for use with Scality RING, the company's industry-leading object storage platform. The drivers are available at no additional cost for licensed RING and ARTESCA customers and are provided as part of the standard implementation toolkit. As open source software, the code is publicly accessible for evaluation and customization. To access the COSI and CSI drivers for RING/ARTESCA and related documentation, visit:

AAPL LEGAL ALERT: Lose Money on Your Apple Inc. Investment? Contact BFA Law by August 19 Class Action Deadline (NASDAQ:AAPL)
NEW YORK, Aug. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) and certain of the Company's senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws. If you invested in Apple, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: Investors have until August 19, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased Apple securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and is captioned Tucker v. Apple Inc., et al. , No. 5:25-cv-05197. Why was Apple Sued for Securities Fraud? Apple is a multinational technology company that engages primarily in the businesses of smart-devices and artificial intelligence ('AI'). Apple's software includes a digital personal assistant called 'Siri,' which was first introduced in October 2011. The complaint alleges that Apple misrepresented Siri's advanced AI-based features as well as its ability to deliver them within the iPhone 16 product cycle. In truth, as alleged, Apple lacked a functional prototype of Siri's purported advanced AI-based features and misrepresented the time it would take to integrate such features into its devices. The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed On March 7, 2025, Apple announced it was indefinitely delaying several AI-based Siri features, citing development delays and pushing their release to sometime 'in the coming year.' On this news, the price of Apple stock declined $11.59 per share, or almost 5%, from $239.07 per share on March 7, 2025, to $227.48 per share on March 10, 2025, the following trading day. Then, on June 9, 2025, Apple hosted its Worldwide Developer Conference for 2025. Noticeably, Apple failed to announce any new updates regarding advanced Siri features. Analysts and media outlets described the WWDC as 'underwhelming' and 'disappointing,' with CNN stating that 'it's unlikely that any of the announcements made at Monday's event will change the perception that Apple is behind its competitors in AI.' On this news, the price of Apple stock declined $2.47 per share, or over 1%, from $203.92 on June 6, 2025, to $201.45 per share on June 9, 2025, the following trading day. Click here for more information: What Can You Do? If you invested in Apple you may have legal options and are encouraged to submit your information to the firm. All representation is on a contingency fee basis, there is no cost to you. Shareholders are not responsible for any court costs or expenses of litigation.
