(kubectl) Automatically Creating an OBS Volume

Scenario

During the use of OBS, expected OBS buckets can be automatically created and mounted as volumes. Currently, standard and infrequent access OBS buckets are supported, which correspond to obs-standard and obs-standard-ia, respectively.

Notes and Constraints

The following configuration example applies to clusters of Kubernetes 1.13 or earlier.

Procedure

1. Use kubectl to connect to the cluster. For details, see Connecting to a Cluster Using kubectl.
2. Run the following commands to configure the pvc-obs-auto-example.yaml file, which is used to create a PVC.

   touch pvc-obs-auto-example.yaml

   vi pvc-obs-auto-example.yaml

   Example YAML:

   apiVersion: v1 
   kind: PersistentVolumeClaim 
   metadata: 
     annotations: 
       volume.beta.kubernetes.io/storage-class: obs-standard  # OBS bucket type. The value can be obs-standard (standard) or obs-standard-ia (infrequent access).
     name: pvc-obs-auto-example  # PVC name
     namespace: default 
   spec: 
     accessModes: 
     - ReadWriteMany 
     resources: 
       requests: 
         storage: 1Gi   # Storage capacity in the unit of Gi. For OBS buckets, this parameter is used only for verification (fixed to 1, cannot be empty or 0). Any value you set does not take effect for OBS buckets.

   Table 1 Key parameters

   Parameter	Description
   volume.beta.kubernetes.io/storage-class	Bucket type. Currently, obs-standard and obs-standard-ia are supported.
   name	Name of the PVC to be created.
   accessModes	Only ReadWriteMany is supported. ReadWriteOnly is not supported.
   storage	Storage capacity in the unit of Gi. For OBS buckets, this field is used only for verification (cannot be empty or 0). Its value is fixed at 1, and any value you set does not take effect for OBS buckets.

3. Run the following command to create a PVC:

   kubectl create -f pvc-obs-auto-example.yaml

   After the command is executed, an OBS bucket is created in the VPC to which the cluster belongs. You can click the bucket name in Storage > OBS to view the bucket or view it on the OBS console.
