Kubrnetes: Example of StorageClass

Choose a storage class and set it as your default by setting the storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class=true annotation.

$ kubectl patch storageclass CUSTOM_STORAGE_CLASS_NAME -p '{"metadata": {"annotations":{"storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class":"true"}}}'

$ kubectl annotate storageclass CUSTOM_STORAGE_CLASS_NAME storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class=true

Scheduling based on Node label selector

The ‘Allowed Topologies’ feature allows you select the Nodes where the application Pods may be scheduled based on Node labels.

The nodes which are preferred for scheduling may be labelled using a unique label and key. Multiple such labels and keys per label may be specified. All of the selection criteria is AND-ed.

The following is a sample StorageClass which allows scheduling on nodes with the labels kubernetes.io/hostname=worker-2, kubernetes.io/hostname=worker-3 and kubernetes.io/hostname=worker-5.

apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
kind: StorageClass
metadata:
  name: custom-hostpath
  annotations:
    openebs.io/cas-type: local
    cas.openebs.io/config: |
      - name: StorageType
        value: "hostpath"
      - name: BasePath
        value: "/var/openebs/local"
provisioner: openebs.io/local
volumeBindingMode: WaitForFirstConsumer
allowedTopologies:
- matchLabelExpressions:
  - key: kubernetes.io/hostname
    values:
    - worker-2
    - worker-3
    - worker-5
