Diagram

A diagram of components and the how they work see below:

How components work

1. TopolvmCluster controller watch the TopolvmCluster(CRD)
2. TopolvmCluster controller start ConfigMap controller to watch lvmd ConfigMap if TopolvmCluster created
3. TopolvmCluster controller create preparevg Job,Topolvm-controller Deployment depend on TopolvmCluster
4. preparevg Job on specific node check disk that provided in TopolvmCluster and create volume group, if volume group created successfully and then create lvmd ConfigMap for the node
5. ConfigMap controller finds the new lvmd ConfigMap then create Topolvm-node Deployment
6. TopolvmCluster controller update TopolvmCluster status
