This issue tracks the upstream Velero GitHub issue #7507 which is part of the Velero v1.18 milestone.

Description

I have found some examples of adding CSI snapshots in KinD.

• https://github.com/topolvm/topolvm/tree/main/example
• https://github.com/topolvm/topolvm/blob/main/test/e2e/Makefile#L267

and that they could be run inside github actions.

Maybe https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-host-path can also be used
https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-host-path/blob/master/docs/example-snapshot-metadata.md to test https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/3314

Supports testing volumeGroupSnapshot
https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-host-path/blob/8b88d04ec388312df1b910bf1cb48926c63c2660/pkg/hostpath/groupcontrollerserver.go#L45

It would be good to enable CSI tests in PR tests.

This enhancement would improve testing capabilities by adding CSI snapshot tests to the kind cluster setup.
