Kubernetes Volume Plug-In Overview | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content
Nutanix provides an external volume plug-in for Kubernetes. Kubernetes is an open source platform for automating deployment, scaling, and operation of application containers across a cluster of hosts. This cluster of hosts can be made up of cloud provider VM instances, Nutanix-hosted VMs, or bare metal servers. Kubernetes is formed with multiple VMs and a master node.



This plug-in runs in a pod and dynamically provisions requested persistent volume that is compatible with the Kubernetes iSCSI volume. Nutanix then provides persistent storage for the provisioned volume.



Storage classes also have provisioners which determine which volume plugin should be used for provisioning Persistent Volumes.

Try the Kubernetes Volume Plug-In with CE 5.5
works fairly well!, some typo's in the code.
Thanks @jantjo

Anything you can share here for us to correct - Thanks

The format of the StorageClass section, could just have been how the metadata and provider section was entered. if someone is just copy and pasting it may take a bit to figure it out.



code:
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1 
metadata:   
    name: class_type 
provisioner: nutanix/abs 
parameters:      
    prismEndPoint: prism_ip_address:port
    dataServiceEndPoint: data_service_ip_address:port
    user: user_name      
    password: password
    secretName: kubernetes_secret_name      
    storageContainer: storage_container
    fsType: file_system_type      
    chapAuthEnabled: “true_or_false”      
    iscsiSecretName: iscsi_secret_name      
    defaultIqn: kubernetes_worker_node_iqn


edit: just pasting this seems to remove the indents. but the section from metadata -> parameters is what is realligned



And under the static provisioned volume, "Iqn" should be "iqn" in the code
Thanks @jantjo



Hope you will be joining us at Nutanix .NEXT - be great to connect and chat in the community lounge. Thanks again!
OpenShift users will also need to add the hostnetwork security context to their nutanixabs-provisioner service account:

oc adm policy add-scc-to-user hostnetwork system:serviceaccount:openshift-infra:nutanixabs-provisioner
