2.11.2. Adding an image volume to a pod

Procedure

1. Create a YAML file similar to the following.

   apiVersion: v1
   kind: Pod
   metadata:
     name: image-volume
   spec:
     containers:
     - name: shell
       command: ["sleep", "infinity"]
       image: debian
       volumeMounts:
       - name: volume
         mountPath: /volume
     volumes:
     - name: volume
       image: 

   1

   
         reference: quay.io/crio/image:v2 

   2

   
         pullPolicy: Always 

   3

   1

   Specifies an OCI container image that is available on the host machine.

   2

   Specifies the path to the image.

   3

   Specifies a pull policy, one of the following options:

   • If Always, the kubelet always attempts to pull the image. If the pull fails, the kubelet sets the pod to Failed.
   • If Never, the kubelet never pulls the image and only uses a local image. The pod becomes Failed if any layers of the image are not present locally, or if the manifest for that image is not already cached.
   • If IfNotPresent the kubelet pulls the image if it is not present. The pod becomes Failed if the image is not present and the pull fails. This is the default.

2. Create the pod by running the following command:

   $ oc create -f <file_name>.yaml
