NFS CSI drivers

Follow the procedures in this section to install and configure the CSI drivers that are required to use an NFS file share on an Amazon S3 File Gateway for storage in your Kubernetes cluster. For more information, see the open-source NFS CSI driver documentation on GitHub at https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-nfs/blob/master/docs/install-csi-driver-master.md.

Install drivers

To install Kubernetes NFS CSI drivers:
  1. From a command-line terminal with access to kubectl for your Kubernetes cluster, run the following command:

    curl -skSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-nfs/master/deploy/install-driver.sh | bash -s master --

  2. Wait for the previous command to finish, then use the following commands to ensure that the CSI driver pods are running:

    kubectl -n kube-system get pod -o wide -l app=csi-nfs-controller

    kubectl -n kube-system get pod -o wide -l app=csi-nfs-node

    The output should look similar to the following:

    NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE csi-nfs-controller-56bfddd689-dh5tk 4/4 Running 0 35s 10.240.0.19 k8s-agentpool-22533604-0 csi-nfs-controller-56bfddd689-8pgr4 4/4 Running 0 35s 10.240.0.35 k8s-agentpool-22533604-1 csi-nfs-node-cvgbs 3/3 Running 0 35s 10.240.0.35 k8s-agentpool-22533604-1 csi-nfs-node-dr4s4 3/3 Running 0 35s 10.240.0.4 k8s-agentpool-22533604-0

Create an NFS StorageClass object

To create an NFS StorageClass object for your Kubernetes cluster:
  1. Create a configuration file named storageclass.yaml with contents that are similar to the following example. Substitute your own deployment-specific information for the ExampleValues shown.

    --- apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1 kind: StorageClass metadata: name: example-nfs-classname namespace: example-namespace provisioner: nfs.csi.k8s.io parameters: server: gateway-dns-name-or-ip-address share: /example-share-name reclaimPolicy: Retain volumeBindingMode: Immediate mountOptions: - hard - nfsvers=4.1
  2. From a command-line terminal with access to kubectl and storageclass.yaml, run the following command:

    kubectl apply -f storageclass.yaml

    Note

    You can also create the StorageClass by providing the .yaml configuration text from the previous step to most third-party Kubernetes management and containerization platforms.

  3. Configure the pods in your Kubernetes cluster to use the new StorageClass object that you created. For more information, refer to the Kubernetes online documentation at https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/.

Create NFS PersistentVolume and PersistentVolumeClaim objects

To create new NFS PersistentVolume and PersistentVolumeClaim objects:
  1. Create two configuration files named persistentvolume.yaml and persistentvolumeclaim.yaml.

  2. For persistentvolume.yaml, add contents that are similar to the following example. Substitute your own deployment-specific information for the ExampleValues shown.

    --- apiVersion: v1 kind: PersistentVolume metadata: name: pv-nfs-examplename spec: capacity: storage: 10Gi accessModes: - ReadWriteMany persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain mountOptions: - hard - nolock - nfsvers=4.1 csi: driver: nfs.csi.k8s.io readOnly: false volumeHandle: unique-volumeid-example # make sure it's a unique id in the cluster volumeAttributes: server: gateway-dns-name-or-ip-address share: /example-share-name
  3. For persistentvolumeclaim.yaml, add contents that are similar to the following example. Substitute your own deployment-specific information for the ExampleValues shown.

    --- kind: PersistentVolumeClaim apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: examplename-pvc-nfs-static spec: accessModes: - ReadWriteMany resources: requests: storage: 10Gi volumeName: pv-nfs-examplename # make sure specfied volumeName matches the name of the PersistentVolume you created storageClassName: ""
  4. From a command-line terminal with access to kubectl and both .yaml files, run the following commands:

    kubectl apply -f persistentvolume.yaml

    kubectl apply -f persistentvolumeclaim.yaml

    Note

    You can also create the PersistentVolume and PersistentVolumeClaim objects by providing the .yaml configuration text from the previous step to most third-party Kubernetes management and containerization platforms.

  5. Configure the pods in your Kubernetes cluster to use the new PersistentVolumeClaim object that you created. For more information, refer to the Kubernetes online documentation at https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/.

Uninstall drivers

To uninstall Kubernetes NFS CSI drivers:
  • From a command-line terminal with access to kubectl for your Kubernetes cluster, run the following command:

    curl -skSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-nfs/master/deploy/uninstall-driver.sh | bash -s master --
