Chapter 4. Configuring persistent storage

Procedure

1. In the OpenShift Dedicated console, click Storage Persistent Volume Claims.
2. In the persistent volume claims overview, click Create Persistent Volume Claim.

3. Define the desired options on the page that appears.

   1. Select the previously-created storage class from the drop-down menu.
   2. Enter a unique name for the storage claim.
   3. Select the access mode. This selection determines the read and write access for the storage claim.
   4. Define the size of the storage claim.
4. Click Create to create the persistent volume claim and generate a persistent volume.

Procedure

1. Create a storage class:

   $ cat << EOF | oc create -f -
   apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
   kind: StorageClass
   metadata:
     name: <storage-class-name> 1
   parameters:
     fsType: ext4 2
     encrypted: "true"
     kmsKeyId: keyvalue 3
   provisioner: ebs.csi.aws.com
   reclaimPolicy: Delete
   volumeBindingMode: WaitForFirstConsumer
   EOF

   1

   Specifies the name of the storage class.

   2

   File system that is created on provisioned volumes.

   3

   Specifies the full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the key to use when encrypting the container-persistent volume. If you do not provide any key, but the encrypted field is set to true, then the default KMS key is used. See Finding the key ID and key ARN on AWS in the AWS documentation.

2. Create a persistent volume claim (PVC) with the storage class specifying the KMS key:

   $ cat << EOF | oc create -f -
   apiVersion: v1
   kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
   metadata:
     name: mypvc
   spec:
     accessModes:
       - ReadWriteOnce
     volumeMode: Filesystem
     storageClassName: <storage-class-name>
     resources:
       requests:
         storage: 1Gi
   EOF

3. Create workload containers to consume the PVC:

   $ cat << EOF | oc create -f -
   kind: Pod
   metadata:
     name: mypod
   spec:
     containers:
       - name: httpd
         image: quay.io/centos7/httpd-24-centos7
         ports:
           - containerPort: 80
         volumeMounts:
           - mountPath: /mnt/storage
             name: data
     volumes:
       - name: data
         persistentVolumeClaim:
           claimName: mypvc
   EOF

Procedure

1. In the OpenShift Dedicated console, click Storage Persistent Volume Claims.
