## CSI Proxy reaches GA ## CSI Proxy reaches GA
The CSI Proxy development team has worked closely with storage vendors, many of whom started integrating CSI Proxy into their CSI Drivers and provided feedback as early as CSI Proxy design proposal. This cooperation uncovered use cases where additional APIs were needed, found bugs, and areas for documentation improvement.

The CSI Proxy design [KEP](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/pull/2737) has been updated to reflect the current CSI Proxy architecture. Additional [development documentation](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-proxy/blob/master/docs/DEVELOPMENT.md) is included for contributors interested in helping with new features or bug fixes.

Before we reached GA we wanted to make sure that our API is simple and consistent. We went through an extensive [API review](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sBP8f_mwV0N_xRRQQGDwHZpU_nTHtpFxdi7LKSUtgX0/edit#heading=h.inwrahdkakje) of the v1beta API groups where we made sure that the CSI Proxy API methods and messages are consistent with the naming conventions defined in the [CSI Spec](https://github.com/container-storage-interface/spec/blob/master/spec.md). As part of this effort we're graduating the [Disk](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-proxy/blob/master/docs/apis/disk_v1.md), [Filesystem](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-proxy/blob/master/docs/apis/filesystem_v1.md), [SMB](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-proxy/blob/master/docs/apis/smb_v1.md) and [Volume](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-proxy/blob/master/docs/apis/volume_v1.md) API groups to v1.

Windows system APIs to get additional information from the Windows nodes and support to mount iSCSI targets in Windows nodes are available as alpha APIs in the [System API](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-proxy/tree/v1.0.0/client/api/system/v1alpha1) and the [iSCSI API](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-proxy/tree/v1.0.0/client/api/iscsi/v1alpha2), these APIs will continue to be improved before we graduate them to v1.

CSI Proxy v1 is compatible with all the previous v1betaX releases. The GA `csi-proxy.exe` binary can handle requests from v1betaX clients thanks to the autogenerated conversion layer that transforms any versioned client request to a version-agnostic request that the server can process. Several [integration tests](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-proxy/tree/v1.0.0/integrationtests) were added for all the API versions of the API groups that are graduating to v1 to ensure that CSI Proxy is backwards compatible.

## Future plans ## Future plans
We're very excited for the future of CSI Proxy. With the upcoming [Windows HostProcess containers](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/1981), we are considering converting the CSI Proxy in to a library consumed by CSI Drivers in addition to the current client/server design. This will allow us to iterate faster on new features because the `csi-proxy.exe` binary will no longer be needed. We're very excited for the future of CSI Proxy.
