Google Compute Engine persistent disk Container Storage Interface (CSI) Driver

Google Compute Engine persistent disk Container Storage Interface (CSI) Driver

The Compute Engine persistent disk Container Storage Interface (CSI) Driver is a CSI compliant driver that you can use to manage the lifecycle of your Google Compute Engine persistent disks.

Before you can deploy storage templates to clusters in your location, make sure you set up Satellite Config by selecting the Enable cluster admin access for Satellite Config option in the console or including the --enable-config-admin option when you create your cluster.

You cannot scope Satellite storage service to resource groups. However, if you are scoping other resources such as location and cluster to resource groups, you need to add Satellite reader and link administrator role for all resources in the account.

Prerequisites

  1. Create a Compute Engine service account.
  2. Create a JSON web key.

Creating and assigning a configuration in the console

  1. Review the parameter reference.

  2. From the Locations console, select the location where you want to create a storage configuration.

  3. Select Storage > Create storage configuration

  4. Enter a name for your configuration.

  5. Select the Storage type.

  6. Select the Version and click Next

  7. If the Storage type that you selected accepts custom parameters, enter them on the Parameters tab.

  8. If the Storage type that you selected requires secrets, enter them on the Secrets tab.

  9. On the Storage classes tab, review the storage classes that are deployed by the configuration or create a custom storage class.

  10. On the Assign to service tab, select the service that you want to assign your configuration to.

  11. Click Complete to assign your storage configuration.

Deploying an app that uses Google Compute Engine persistent disk

You can use the gce-pd-csi-driver to create PVCs that you can use in your cluster workloads.

  1. Create a PVC that references a GCP storage class that you created earlier.

    apiVersion: v1
    kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
    metadata:
      name: pvc-gce
    spec:
      accessModes:
        - ReadWriteOnce
      resources:
        requests:
          storage: 10Gi
      storageClassName: sat-gce-block-silver
    
  2. Create the PVC in your cluster.

    oc apply -f pvc-gce.yaml
    
  3. Create a YAML configuration file for a pod that mounts the PVC that you created.

    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: StatefulSet
    metadata:
      name: statefulset-gce
      labels:
        app: nginx
    spec:
      podManagementPolicy: Parallel  # default is OrderedReady
      serviceName: statefulset-gce

          containers:
            - name: statefulset-gce
              image: mcr.microsoft.com/oss/nginx/nginx:1.19.5
              command:
                - "/bin/bash"
                - "-c"
                - set -euo pipefail; while true; do echo $(date) >> /mnt/gce/outfile; sleep 1; done
              volumeMounts:
                - name: persistent-storage
                  mountPath: /mnt/gce
      updateStrategy:
        type: RollingUpdate
      selector:
        matchLabels:
          app: nginx
      volumeClaimTemplates:
        - metadata:
            name: persistent-storage
            annotations:
              volume.beta.kubernetes.io/storage-class: sat-gce-block-silver
          spec:
            accessModes: ["ReadWriteOnce"]
            resources:
              requests:
                storage: 10Gi
    
  4. Create the pod in your cluster.

    oc apply -f statefulset-gce.yaml
    
  5. Verify that the pod is deployed. Note that it might take a few minutes for your app to get into a Running state.

    oc get pods
    
    NAME                                READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
    statefulset-gce                          1/1     Running   0          2m58s
    
  6. Verify that the app can write to your persistent disk by logging in to your pod.

    oc exec web-server -it bash
    
  7. View the contents of the outfile file to confirm that your app can write data to your persistent storage.

    cat /mnt/gce/outfile
    

    Example output

    Fri Jul 16 07:49:39 EDT 2021
    Fri Jul 16 07:49:39 EDT 2021
