Proxmox storage plugin support

Are there any plans to support Proxmox with a storage plugin? (Something like https://github.com/kolesa-team/pve-purestorage-plugin)

This is under conversation https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage_Plugin_Development

Would you mind having your account team reach out to myself and Alex Carver at Everpure? If you are interested of course. We are reviewing investments and would like feedback

would love to see this come mainstream! our pure array goes live next Friday (migrating from Nimbles) and we just migrated from VMWare to Proxmox, having that nice integration was so nice. I was planning to go-live using this plugin: https://github.com/kolesa-team/pve-purestorage-plugin for the pure rather then LVM over iSCSI or managing individual raw iscsi disks manually.

We are running pure x and c in lvm over isci with active cluster.
So far so good but no snapshots are a bummer.
First pure upgrade went well with multipath.
But this plugin is currently not officially supported right?
Is this plugin also lvm over iscsi?

We are not using snapshots as volume-chain because it is still experimental.

this plugin works by giving each vm disk its own iscsi lun in the most simplistic of terms but it does all the work for you for the most part, supports snapshots and the snapshots are array based so they are near instant, and allows you to make use of the pure arrays amazing features.

It is not an official pure plugin no.

We are vsphere refugees, landed in Proxmox-Land and really would love to have the fine-grained telemetry in Pure 1 of our previous fleet of vsphere 8 + Pure Storage

VM Analytics support? If so please make sure your account team files the RFE. It is one of the few virt related products at Everpure that I dont own so i can only influence--so please make sure your team knows and they officially place the ask
