How to Deploy an Application with Local Storage Classes on Kubernetes Clusters

Introduction

Local volumes do not currently support dynamic provisioning, however, a StorageClass should still be created to delay volume binding until Pod scheduling. This is specified by the WaitForFirstConsumer volume binding mode.

1 Create a local directory

Please login to your node server and create a local directory. 
mkdir -p /root/local_pv/testapp
 
 

2 Create a PV

Please login to your master server to create a PV yaml file.
mkdir -p /root/test 
cd /root/test
vi apptest_pv.yaml
 
Create PV via command 
kubectl create -f apptest_pv.yaml

3 Create a PVC

Create a PVC yaml file via command 
vi apptest_pvc.yaml
 
Create PVC via command 
kubectl create -f apptest_pvc.yaml

4 Create your application

Create an application deployment yaml file via command 
vi apptest_deployment.yaml
 
Create application via command 
kubectl create -f apptest_deployment.yaml
 

5 Test

Enter the application container and create a test file in the persistent directory.
 
 
Log in to the node where the application is located to check whether the file in the local directory is created.
 
 
Restart the application container to test whether the file is effectively persisted.
