Kubernetes : Dynamic Volume Provisioning (NFS)2024/11/06

 

To use Dynamic Volume Provisioning feature when using Persistent Storage, it's possible to create PV (Persistent Volume) dynamically without creating PV manually by Cluster Administrator when created PVC (Persistent Volume Claim) by users.

This example is based on the environment like follows.

For example, run NFS Server on Control Plane Node and configure dynamic volume provisioning with NFS provisioner.

-----------+---------------------------+--------------------------+------------
           |                           |                          |
       eth0|10.0.0.30              eth0|10.0.0.51             eth0|10.0.0.52
+----------+-----------+   +-----------+----------+   +-----------+----------+
|   [ dlp.srv.world ]  |   | [ node01.srv.world ] |   | [ node02.srv.world ] |
|     Control Plane    |   |      Worker Node     |   |      Worker Node     |
+----------------------+   +----------------------+   +----------------------+

[1]

Run NFS Server on Control Plane Node, refer to here.
On this example, configure [/home/nfsshare] directory as NFS share.

[2]

Worker Nodes need to be able to mount NFS share on NFS server.

[3] Install NFS Client Provisioner.
