[Support] Guidance / Recommendations for extension development

[jabenedicic]

I am currently working on a number of additional tools/configs that would support greater storage adoption for Talos, however I am unsure how to best package these up into extensions.

Is there a recommendation that each extension should be a single tool/driver/firmware etc? Or could you bundle multiple together to fit the intended purpose?

For example let's say all tools needed for iSCSI storage arrays CSI drivers to work. This would involve open-iscsi, multipath-tools, potentially other scsi related packages. What is the best way to proceed?

Many thanks,
JB

it depends, if it's something that's specific better to be a separate one, but if it's helps to bundle together to use a feature, better make it one

makes sense to be a single one

Thanks, that helps. Will do some more testing and put together some PR's.
