+## 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.

 ## Encryption for RBD volumes
 
 > Enabling encryption on volumes created without encryption is **not supported**
