## Read Affinity using crush locations for RBD volumes

Ceph CSI supports mapping RBD volumes with krbd options
`"read_from_replica=localize,crush_location=type1:value1|type2:value2"` to achieve
reads from the most local serving OSD.
Refer [krbd-options](https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/man/8/rbd/#kernel-rbd-krbd-options)
for more details.

This can be enabled by adding labels to Kubernetes nodes in the format `"topology.io/zone=east"`
and passing cmdline arguments `"--enable-read-affinity=true"` and
`"--crush-location-labels=topology.io/zone,topology.io/region"`
to Ceph CSI RBD daemonset pod "csi-rbdplugin" container, resulting in Ceph CSI adding
`"--options read_from_replica=localize,crush_location=zone:east"` krbd options during
rbd map operation.
If enabled, this option will be added to all RBD volumes mapped by Ceph CSI.
Well known labels can be found
[here](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/labels-annotations-taints/).

## Encryption for RBD volumes

> Enabling encryption on volumes created without encryption is **not supported**
