Creating Azure File Share (private endpoint) Mount Point on AKS pods

Question

Hi team.,

I have created Private AKS cluster and want to add a mount point as PV - Azure File Share(with private endpoint) to pods in the AKS.

I'm seeing the error as

Document(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/azure-files-dynamic-pv) does not help much with private endpoint option.

Answer 1

@Ankit Rathod , if you want to mount Azure File Share with AKS POD, you don't need to create PV.

• Create Azure File Share
• Create the Secret for underlyimng storage account

kubectl create secret generic test-secret --namespace my-dev --from-literal=azurestorageaccountname=[name of storage account] --from-literal=azurestorageaccountkey=[storage account key]

• Then define POD YAML like below,

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: test-pod
namespace: my-dev
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:
app: test-pod
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: test-pod
spec:
containers:
- image: test-image
name: test-pod

      volumeMounts:  
        - name: file-share  
          mountPath: /app/files   
  volumes:  
  - name: file-share  
    azureFile:  
      secretName: test-secret  
      shareName: share-name  
      readOnly: true  

Please make sure secret name and file share name should be same. Do let me know this this works for you.

@Mohammad Ajmal Yazdani ,

Thanks for the response,

I want to also mount the single file share on multiple pods, also my Storage account is accessed using private link and aks is also private cluster, so in this scenario will the above solution work ?
