July 2025: Completed CRD naming standardization for sapcc/helm-charts. Standardized the configuration resource naming by renaming NFSVolumeConfig to CinderNetappConfig and simplified its spec (removed 'name' and 'component') with metadata.name defaulted to 'default'. This reduces surface area, simplifies migrations, and sets groundwork for consistent configuration management.
