Is your feature request related to a problem?/Why is this needed
The file.csi.azure.com CSI driver currently only works with classic Azure File shares created under the Microsoft.Storage resource provider (storage account-based file shares). It does not support the new Microsoft.FileShares resource provider, which allows deploying file shares as top-level Azure resources without a storage account.
Describe the solution you'd like in detail
Add support for provisioning and mounting Azure File shares created via the Microsoft.FileShares resource provider (Microsoft.FileShares/fileShares). This would include:
- Static provisioning of existing Microsoft.FileShares NFS shares
- Dynamic provisioning using the Microsoft.FileShares API
Additional context
- Microsoft.FileShares is currently in preview and supports NFS file shares on premium SSD storage with the provisioned v2 billing model.
- ARM resource type: Microsoft.FileShares/fileShares@2025-06-01-preview
- Docs: Create a File Share (Microsoft.FileShares)
