Create a persistent volume (preview)

  • Straipsnis

This article describes how to create a persistent volume using storage key authentication.

Prerequisites

This section describes the prerequisites for creating a persistent volume (PV).

  1. Create a storage account following the instructions here.

    Note

    When you create your storage account, create it under the same resource group as your Kubernetes cluster. It is recommended that you also create it under the same region/location as your Kubernetes cluster.

  2. Create a container in the storage account that you created in the previous step, following the instructions here.

Storage key authentication configuration

  1. Create a file named add-key.sh with the following contents. No edits or changes are necessary:

    #!/usr/bin/env bash

while getopts g:n:s: flag
do
    case "${flag}" in
        g) RESOURCE_GROUP=${OPTARG};;
        s) STORAGE_ACCOUNT=${OPTARG};;
        n) NAMESPACE=${OPTARG};;
    esac
done

SECRET=$(az storage account keys list -g $RESOURCE_GROUP -n $STORAGE_ACCOUNT --query [0].value --output tsv)

kubectl create secret generic -n "${NAMESPACE}" "${STORAGE_ACCOUNT}"-secret --from-literal=azurestorageaccountkey="${SECRET}" --from-literal=azurestorageaccountname="${STORAGE_ACCOUNT}"

  2. After you create the file, change the write permissions on the file and execute the shell script using the following commands. Running these commands creates a secret named {YOUR_STORAGE_ACCOUNT}-secret. This secret name is used for the secretName value when configuring your PV:

    chmod +x add-key.sh
./add-key.sh -g "$YOUR_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME" -s "$YOUR_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME" -n "$YOUR_KUBERNETES_NAMESPACE"

Create Persistent Volume (PV)

You must create a Persistent Volume (PV) for Cache Volumes to create a local instance and bind to a remote BLOB storage account.

Make a note of the metadata: name: as you must specify it in the spec: volumeName of the PVC that binds to it. Use your storage account and container that you created as part of the prerequisites.

  1. Create a file named pv.yaml:

    apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
    ### Create a name here ###
    name: CREATE_A_NAME_HERE
spec:
    capacity:
        ### This storage capacity value is not enforced at this layer. ###
        storage: 10Gi
    accessModes:
        - ReadWriteMany
    persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain
    storageClassName: esa
    csi:
        driver: edgecache.csi.azure.com
        readOnly: false
        ### Make sure this volumeid is unique in the cluster. You must specify it in the spec:volumeName of the PVC. ###
        volumeHandle: YOUR_NAME_FROM_METADATA_NAME_IN_LINE_4_HERE
        volumeAttributes:
            protocol: edgecache
            edgecache-storage-auth: AccountKey
            ### Fill in the next two/three values with your information. ###
            secretName: YOUR_SECRET_NAME_HERE ### From the previous step, this name is "{YOUR_STORAGE_ACCOUNT}-secret" ###
            ### If you use a non-default namespace, uncomment the following line and add your namespace. ###
            ### secretNamespace: YOUR_NAMESPACE_HERE
            containerName: YOUR_CONTAINER_NAME_HERE

  2. To apply this .yaml file, run:

    kubectl apply -f "pv.yaml"
