StorageProfiles ease the burden of selecting the optimal PVC parameters (AccessMode and VolumeMode) for known CSI provisioners. As we encounter new provisioners we should determine the correct values and update our internal table in CDI so that our customers will get a better out of the box experience. Having a correct storage profile can also make VM provisioning order of magnitude faster (host copy vs. CSI clones). Several customer support cases have already arisen because the OCP certified provisioner had an empty or incorrect admin provided storage profile.
