Kubernetes - Cloud Providers and Storage Classes

Wed, 13 Mar 2019 14:20:23 +0000

In the previous post we covered Persistent Volumes (PV) and how we can use those volumes to store data that shouldn’t be deleted if a container is removed. The big problem with that post is that we have to manually create the volumes and persistent volume claims. It would sure be nice to have those volumes spun up automatically wouldn’t it? Well, we can do that with a storage class. For a storage class to be really useful, we’ll have to tie our Kubernetes cluster in with our infrastructure provider like AWS, Azure or vSphere for example. This coordination is done through a cloud provider.
