how to bound a Persistent volume claim with a gcePersistentDisk?

Question

I would like to bound PersistentVolumeClaim with a gcePersistentDisk PersistentVolume. Below the steps I did for getting that:

1. Creation of the gcePersistentDisk:

Answer 1

With PersistentVolumeClaim, you don't need to create PersistentVolume objects or gcePersistentDisk. Instead, create only a PVC and Kubernetes automatically creates a PV object that references the backing storage.

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: nfs-pvc
spec:
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  storageClassName: ssd-sc  # specify the storage class created below
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 10Gi

Create a StorageClass so it knows which backing storage to use. You can specify that it retains the storage (reclaimPolicy: Retain) if you delete the PVC and the storage type (type: pd-ssd).

apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
kind: StorageClass
metadata:
  name: ssd-sc 
provisioner: kubernetes.io/gce-pd
reclaimPolicy: Retain # Retain storage even if we delete PVC
parameters:
  type: pd-ssd # ssd
