• How to check how many Storage Classes there are: 
    kubectl get sc
  • local-storage is the Storage Class that does not support dynamic provisioning.
  • How to check the Volume Binding Mode that a Storage Class uses: 
    kubectl describe sc local-storage
  • Check the Provisioner using this method: 
    kubectl describe sc <storage_class>
  • Example local Persistent Volume Claim: ``` — kind: PersistentVolumeClaim apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: local-pvc spec: accessModes:
    • ReadWriteOnce storageClassName: local-storage resources: requests: storage: 500Mi ```
  • Useful information:

    The Storage Class called local-storage makes use of VolumeBindingMode set to WaitForFirstConsumer. This will delay the binding and provisioning of a PersistentVolume until a Pod using the PersistentVolumeClaim is created.

  • Example pod making use of a local PVC: ``` — apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: nginx labels: name: nginx spec: containers:
    • name: nginx image: nginx:alpine volumeMounts:
      • name: local-persistent-storage mountPath: /var/www/html volumes:
      • name: local-persistent-storage persistentVolumeClaim: claimName: local-pvc ```
  • Example of a new storage class: 
    ---
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
kind: StorageClass
metadata:
name: delayed-volume-sc
provisioner: kubernetes.io/no-provisioner
volumeBindingMode: WaitForFirstConsumer
