[FEATURE]: CSI-PowerMax - Mount credentials secret to the reverse-proxy (Customer Ask)

[rajkumar-palani]

Feature – Today, the csi-reverseproxy accesses Unisphere credentials by using a K8s api call to read them from a configmap, unlike all the other drivers, which mount a secret as a volume in the driver pod.

This feature brings the reverseproxy in line with all the other drivers – the configmap will be converted to a secret and mounted to the controller pod as a volume. The

Benefit hypothesis – Moving to a mounted secret will make csi-powermax consistent with other drivers, and will allow us to integrate with Hashicorp Vault, which uses a sidecar injector that can inject secrets directly into the pod, not into the k8s secret object (cf. email).
