Hi Sandeep, To get some idea about the storage plugin, you can refer to the details about storage subsystem, the interfaces/methods to implement here: - https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Storage+subsystem+2.0 . For sample design & implementation, check the powerflex plugin details here: - https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=158873968 - https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/4304
If you would like to have Storage as an Extension, you can create a new 'Storage' Extension type similar to Orchestrator and define some operations in the extension execution script. Check details about Orchestrator Extension here: - https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/CloudStack+Extensions+Framework+-++Orchestrator+or+External+Deployment+Integration - https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/adminguide/extensions.html Regards, Suresh On Mon, Dec 1, 2025 at 7:06 PM sandeep locharla <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Daan, > > I'm looking for documentation to build my own storage plugin.
