Create a Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) (preview)

  • Article

The PVC is a persistent volume claim against the persistent volume that you can use to mount a Kubernetes pod.

This size does not affect the ceiling of blob storage used in the cloud to support this local cache. Make a note of the name of this PVC, as you need it when you create your application pod.

Create PVC

  1. Create a file named pvc.yaml with the following contents:

    apiVersion: v1 
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim 
metadata:
    ### Create a name for your PVC ###
    name: CREATE_A_NAME_HERE
    ### Use a namespace that matched your intended consuming pod, or "default" ###
    namespace: INTENDED_CONSUMING_POD_OR_DEFAULT_HERE
spec: 
    accessModes: 
        - ReadWriteMany 
    resources: 
        requests: 
            storage: 5Gi 
    storageClassName: esa
    volumeMode: Filesystem
    ### This name references your PV name in your PV config ###
    volumeName: INSERT_YOUR_PV_NAME

  2. To apply this .yaml file, run:

    kubectl apply -f "pvc.yaml"
