Epic Goal*

Merge the CSI driver operator into csi-operator repo and re-use asset generator and CSI operator code there.

 
Why is this important? (mandatory)

Maintaining separate CSI driver operator repo is hard, especially when dealing with CVEs and library bumps. In addition, we could share even more code when moving all CSI driver operators into a single repo.

 
Scenarios (mandatory) 

As cluster admin, I upgrade my cluster to a version with this epic implemented and I do not see any change, the CSI driver works the same as before. (Some pods, their containers or services may get renamed during the upgrade process).

As OCP developer, I have 1 less repo to worry about when fixing a CVE / bumping library-go or Kubernetes libraries.

 
Dependencies (internal and external) (mandatory)

None, this can be done just by the storage team and independently on other operators / features.

Contributing Teams(and contacts) (mandatory) 

• Development - 
• QE - 

Acceptance Criteria (optional)

Provide some (testable) examples of how we will know if we have achieved the epic goal.  

Drawbacks or Risk (optional)

Reasons we should consider NOT doing this such as: limited audience for the feature, feature will be superseded by other work that is planned, resulting feature will introduce substantial administrative complexity or user confusion, etc.

Done - Checklist (mandatory)

The following points apply to all epics and are what the OpenShift team believes are the minimum set of criteria that epics should meet for us to consider them potentially shippable. We request that epic owners modify this list to reflect the work to be completed in order to produce something that is potentially shippable.

• CI Testing -  Basic e2e automationTests are merged and completing successfully
• Documentation - Content development is complete.
• QE - Test scenarios are written and executed successfully.
• Technical Enablement - Slides are complete (if requested by PLM)
• Engineering Stories Merged
• All associated work items with the Epic are closed
• Epic status should be "Release Pending"
