clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/microk8s-hostpath created
Storage will be available soon

# [hostpath-provisioner] pod starts

root@dlp:~#

microk8s kubectl get pods -A

[2]	This is an example to use storage on a Pod to define PVC (Persistent Volume Claim) object.

root@dlp:~#

vi my-pvc.yml

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  # any PVC name
  name: my-pvc
spec:
  # access mode:
  # - ReadWriteMany (RW from multi nodes)
  # - ReadWriteOnce (RW from a node)
  # - ReadOnlyMany (R from multi nodes)
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  # specify microk8s-hostpath
  storageClassName: microk8s-hostpath
  resources:
    requests:
      # storage size to use
      storage: 1Gi

root@dlp:~#

microk8s kubectl create -f my-pvc.yml

# for example, create a nginx pod
