How to use this persistent volume claim with my GKE cluster

Question

I have created a persistent volume and persistent volume claim as specified in https://www.edureka.co/community/59670/can-use-pre-existing-disk-persistent-volume-for-gke-cluster How to use it on my cluster?

Answer 1

After the PersistentVolume and PersistentVolumeClaim exist in the cluster, you can give a Pod's containers access to the volume by specifying values for the container's volumeMounts.mountPath and volumeMounts.name, as shown in the following example:

kind: Pod
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: task-pv-pod
spec:
  volumes:
    - name: task-pv-storage
      persistentVolumeClaim:
       claimName: pv-claim-demo
  containers:
    - name: task-pv-container
      image: nginx
      ports:
        - containerPort: 80
          name: "http-server"
      volumeMounts:
        - mountPath: "/usr/share/nginx/html"
          name: task-pv-storage

When you apply this manifest to a cluster, the Pod is created, and the task-pv-container container has access to the volume in its /usr/share/nginx/html/ directory.
