Hello,
Perhaps you could evaluate integrating NetApp's S3 as an object storage
in Cloudstack (currently you can only use MinIO or Ceph). Personally I
think it would be a great feature (perhaps more than the proposed plugin).

Greetings CloudStack Community,
I am a member of the NetApp Storage team, currently serving as an
architect. We are exploring the opportunity to develop a storage plugin for
Apache CloudStack that supports key functionalities such as volume
creation, snapshotting, cloning, resizing, and more.
We found the official CloudStack documentation to be clear and helpful,
which enabled us to successfully set up primary storage using external
storage through static configuration.
We are now investigating the dynamic allocation of ONTAP storage volumes
for primary storage provisioning. In this context, we have a few queries we
would like to discuss with the community:
1. Could you guide us on the process for contributing code to the
CloudStack project?
2. Would it be appropriate to present and discuss our proposed design
for the NetApp storage plugin?
3. We have reviewed the storage plugin documentation outlining vendor
implementation requirements—are there any additional best practices we
should be aware of?
4. Could you share recommendations or guidelines regarding internal
CI/CD processes that contributors typically follow?
5. We appreciate your support and look forward to your guidance.
Best regards,
Rajiv Jain
