A `StorageClass` provides a way for administrators to describe the "classes" of
storage they offer. Different classes might map to quality-of-service levels,
or to backup policies, or to arbitrary policies determined by the cluster
administrators. Kubernetes itself is unopinionated about what classes
represent. This concept is sometimes called "profiles" in other storage
systems.

`PersistentVolumes` binds are exclusive, and since `PersistentVolumeClaims` are namespaced objects, mounting claims with "Many" modes (`ROX`, `RWX`) is only possible within one namespace.
## StorageClasses
Each `StorageClass` contains the fields `provisioner`, `parameters`, and
`reclaimPolicy`, which are used when a `PersistentVolume` belonging to the
class needs to be dynamically provisioned.
The name of a `StorageClass` object is significant, and is how users can
request a particular class. Administrators set the name and other parameters
of a class when first creating `StorageClass` objects, and the objects cannot
be updated once they are created.
Administrators can specify a default `StorageClass` just for PVCs that don't
request any particular class to bind to: see the
[`PersistentVolumeClaim` section](#persistentvolumeclaims)
for details.
```yaml
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: standard
provisioner: kubernetes.io/aws-ebs
parameters:
type: gp2
reclaimPolicy: Retain
mountOptions:
- debug
```
### Provisioner
Storage classes have a provisioner that determines what volume plugin is used
for provisioning PVs. This field must be specified.
| Volume Plugin | Internal Provisioner| Config Example |
| :--- | :---: | :---: |
| AWSElasticBlockStore | ✓ | [AWS](#aws) |
| AzureFile | ✓ | [Azure File](#azure-file) |
| AzureDisk | ✓ | [Azure Disk](#azure-disk) |
| CephFS | - | - |
| Cinder | ✓ | [OpenStack Cinder](#openstack-cinder)|
| FC | - | - |
| FlexVolume | - | - |
| Flocker | ✓ | - |
| GCEPersistentDisk | ✓ | [GCE](#gce) |
| Glusterfs | ✓ | [Glusterfs](#glusterfs) |
| iSCSI | - | - |
| PhotonPersistentDisk | ✓ | - |
| Quobyte | ✓ | [Quobyte](#quobyte) |
| NFS | - | - |
| RBD | ✓ | [Ceph RBD](#ceph-rbd) |
| VsphereVolume | ✓ | [vSphere](#vsphere) |
| PortworxVolume | ✓ | [Portworx Volume](#portworx-volume) |

| StorageOS | ✓ | [StorageOS](#storageos) |
You are not restricted to specifying the "internal" provisioners
listed here (whose names are prefixed with "kubernetes.io" and shipped
alongside Kubernetes). You can also run and specify external provisioners,
which are independent programs that follow a [specification](https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/design-proposals/storage/volume-provisioning.md)
defined by Kubernetes. Authors of external provisioners have full discretion
over where their code lives, how the provisioner is shipped, how it needs to be
run, what volume plugin it uses (including Flex), etc. The repository [kubernetes-incubator/external-storage](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/external-storage)
houses a library for writing external provisioners that implements the bulk of
the specification plus various community-maintained external provisioners.
For example, NFS doesn't provide an internal provisioner, but an external provisioner
can be used. Some external provisioners are listed under the repository [kubernetes-incubator/external-storage](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/external-storage).
There are also cases when 3rd party storage vendors provide their own external
provisioner.
### Reclaim Policy
Persistent Volumes that are dynamically created by a storage class will have the
reclaim policy specified in the `reclaimPolicy` field of the class, which can be
either `Delete` or `Retain`. If no `reclaimPolicy` is specified when a
`StorageClass` object is created, it will default to `Delete`.
Persistent Volumes that are created manually and managed via a storage class will have
whatever reclaim policy they were assigned at creation.
### Mount Options
Persistent Volumes that are dynamically created by a storage class will have the
mount options specified in the `mountOptions` field of the class.
If the volume plugin does not support mount options but mount options are
specified, provisioning will fail. Mount options are not validated on neither
the class nor PV, so mount of the PV will simply fail if one is invalid.
### Parameters
Storage classes have parameters that describe volumes belonging to the storage
class. Different parameters may be accepted depending on the `provisioner`. For
example, the value `io1`, for the parameter `type`, and the parameter
`iopsPerGB` are specific to EBS. When a parameter is omitted, some default is
used.
#### AWS
```yaml
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: slow
provisioner: kubernetes.io/aws-ebs
parameters:
type: io1
zones: us-east-1d, us-east-1c
iopsPerGB: "10"
```
* `type`: `io1`, `gp2`, `sc1`, `st1`. See [AWS docs](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSVolumeTypes.html) for details. Default: `gp2`.
* `zone`: AWS zone. If neither `zone` nor `zones` is specified, volumes are generally round-robin-ed across all active zones where Kubernetes cluster has a node. `zone` and `zones` parameters must not be used at the same time.
* `zones`: A comma separated list of AWS zone(s). If neither `zone` nor `zones` is specified, volumes are generally round-robin-ed across all active zones where Kubernetes cluster has a node. `zone` and `zones` parameters must not be used at the same time.
* `iopsPerGB`: only for `io1` volumes. I/O operations per second per GiB. AWS volume plugin multiplies this with size of requested volume to compute IOPS of the volume and caps it at 20 000 IOPS (maximum supported by AWS, see [AWS docs](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSVolumeTypes.html). A string is expected here, i.e. `"10"`, not `10`.
* `encrypted`: denotes whether the EBS volume should be encrypted or not. Valid values are `"true"` or `"false"`. A string is expected here, i.e. `"true"`, not `true`.
* `kmsKeyId`: optional. The full Amazon Resource Name of the key to use when encrypting the volume. If none is supplied but `encrypted` is true, a key is generated by AWS. See AWS docs for valid ARN value.
#### GCE
```yaml
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: slow
provisioner: kubernetes.io/gce-pd
parameters:
type: pd-standard
zones: us-central1-a, us-central1-b
```
* `type`: `pd-standard` or `pd-ssd`. Default: `pd-standard`
* `zone`: GCE zone. If neither `zone` nor `zones` is specified, volumes are generally round-robin-ed across all active zones where Kubernetes cluster has a node. `zone` and `zones` parameters must not be used at the same time.
* `zones`: A comma separated list of GCE zone(s). If neither `zone` nor `zones` is specified, volumes are generally round-robin-ed across all active zones where Kubernetes cluster has a node. `zone` and `zones` parameters must not be used at the same time.
#### Glusterfs
```yaml
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
kind: StorageClass
metadata:
name: slow
provisioner: kubernetes.io/glusterfs
parameters:
resturl: "http://127.0.0.1:8081"
clusterid: "630372ccdc720a92c681fb928f27b53f"
restauthenabled: "true"
restuser: "admin"
secretNamespace: "default"
secretName: "heketi-secret"
gidMin: "40000"
gidMax: "50000"
volumetype: "replicate:3"
```
* `resturl`: Gluster REST service/Heketi service url which provision gluster volumes on demand. The general format should be `IPaddress:Port` and this is a mandatory parameter for GlusterFS dynamic provisioner. If Heketi service is exposed as a routable service in openshift/kubernetes setup, this can have a format similar to
`http://heketi-storage-project.cloudapps.mystorage.com` where the fqdn is a resolvable heketi service url.
* `restauthenabled` : Gluster REST service authentication boolean that enables authentication to the REST server. If this value is 'true', `restuser` and `restuserkey` or `secretNamespace` + `secretName` have to be filled. This option is deprecated, authentication is enabled when any of `restuser`, `restuserkey`, `secretName` or `secretNamespace` is specified.
* `restuser` : Gluster REST service/Heketi user who has access to create volumes in the Gluster Trusted Pool.
* `restuserkey` : Gluster REST service/Heketi user's password which will be used for authentication to the REST server. This parameter is deprecated in favor of `secretNamespace` + `secretName`.
* `secretNamespace`, `secretName` : Identification of Secret instance that contains user password to use when talking to Gluster REST service. These parameters are optional, empty password will be used when both `secretNamespace` and `secretName` are omitted. The provided secret must have type "kubernetes.io/glusterfs", e.g. created in this way:
```
$ kubectl create secret generic heketi-secret --type="kubernetes.io/glusterfs" --from-literal=key='opensesame' --namespace=default
```
Example of a secret can be found in [glusterfs-provisioning-secret.yaml](https://github.com/kubernetes/examples/tree/master/staging/persistent-volume-provisioning/glusterfs/glusterfs-secret.yaml).
* `clusterid`: `630372ccdc720a92c681fb928f27b53f` is the ID of the cluster which will be used by Heketi when provisioning the volume. It can also be a list of clusterids, for ex:
"8452344e2becec931ece4e33c4674e4e,42982310de6c63381718ccfa6d8cf397". This is an optional parameter.
* `gidMin`, `gidMax` : The minimum and maximum value of GID range for the storage class. A unique value (GID) in this range ( gidMin-gidMax ) will be used for dynamically provisioned volumes. These are optional values. If not specified, the volume will be provisioned with a value between 2000-2147483647 which are defaults for gidMin and gidMax respectively.
* `volumetype` : The volume type and its parameters can be configured with this optional value. If the volume type is not mentioned, it's up to the provisioner to decide the volume type.
For example:
'Replica volume':
`volumetype: replicate:3` where '3' is replica count.
'Disperse/EC volume':
`volumetype: disperse:4:2` where '4' is data and '2' is the redundancy count.
'Distribute volume':
`volumetype: none`
For available volume types and administration options, refer to the [Administration Guide](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Storage/3.1/html/Administration_Guide/part-Overview.html).
For further reference information, see [How to configure Heketi](https://github.com/heketi/heketi/wiki/Setting-up-the-topology).
When persistent volumes are dynamically provisioned, the Gluster plugin automatically creates an endpoint and a headless service in the name `gluster-dynamic-<claimname>`. The dynamic endpoint and service are automatically deleted when the persistent volume claim is deleted.
#### OpenStack Cinder
```yaml
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: gold
provisioner: kubernetes.io/cinder
parameters:
type: fast
availability: nova
```
* `type`: [VolumeType](https://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/dashboard-manage-volumes.html) created in Cinder. Default is empty.
* `availability`: Availability Zone. If not specified, volumes are generally round-robin-ed across all active zones where Kubernetes cluster has a node.
#### vSphere
1. Create a StorageClass with a user specified disk format.
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: fast
provisioner: kubernetes.io/vsphere-volume
parameters:
diskformat: zeroedthick
`diskformat`: `thin`, `zeroedthick` and `eagerzeroedthick`. Default: `"thin"`.
2. Create a StorageClass with a disk format on a user specified datastore.
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: fast
provisioner: kubernetes.io/vsphere-volume
parameters:
diskformat: zeroedthick
datastore: VSANDatastore
`datastore`: The user can also specify the datastore in the StorageClass. The volume will be created on the datastore specified in the storage class, which in this case is `VSANDatastore`. This field is optional. If the datastore is not specified, then the volume will be created on the datastore specified in the vSphere config file used to initialize the vSphere Cloud Provider.
3. Storage Policy Management inside kubernetes
* Using existing vCenter SPBM policy
One of the most important features of vSphere for Storage Management is policy based Management. Storage Policy Based Management (SPBM) is a storage policy framework that provides a single unified control plane across a broad range of data services and storage solutions. SPBM enables vSphere administrators to overcome upfront storage provisioning challenges, such as capacity planning, differentiated service levels and managing capacity headroom.
The SPBM policies can be specified in the StorageClass using the storagePolicyName parameter.
* Virtual SAN policy support inside Kubernetes
Vsphere Infrastructure (VI) Admins will have the ability to specify custom Virtual SAN Storage Capabilities during dynamic volume provisioning. You can now define storage requirements, such as performance and availability, in the form of storage capabilities during dynamic volume provisioning. The storage capability requirements are converted into a Virtual SAN policy which are then pushed down to the Virtual SAN layer when a persistent volume (virtual disk) is being created. The virtual disk is distributed across the Virtual SAN datastore to meet the requirements.
You can see [Storage Policy Based Management for dynamic provisioning of volumes](https://vmware.github.io/vsphere-storage-for-kubernetes/documentation/policy-based-mgmt.html) for more details on how to use storage policies for persistent volumes management.
There are few [vSphere examples](https://github.com/kubernetes/examples/tree/master/staging/volumes/vsphere) which you try out for persistent volume management inside Kubernetes for vSphere.

skuName: Standard_LRS
location: eastus
storageAccount: azure_storage_account_name
```
* `skuName`: Azure storage account Sku tier. Default is empty.
* `location`: Azure storage account location. Default is empty.
* `storageAccount`: Azure storage account name. If a storage account is provided, it must reside in the same resource group as the cluster, and `location` is ignored. If a storage account is not provided, a new storage account will be created in the same resource group as the cluster.
##### New Azure Disk Storage Class (starting from v1.7.2)
```yaml
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: slow
provisioner: kubernetes.io/azure-disk
parameters:
storageaccounttype: Standard_LRS
kind: Shared
```
* `storageaccounttype`: Azure storage account Sku tier. Default is empty.
* `kind`: Possible values are `shared` (default), `dedicated`, and `managed`. When `kind` is `shared`, all unmanaged disks are created in a few shared storage accounts in the same resource group as the cluster. When `kind` is `dedicated`, a new dedicated storage account will be created for the new unmanaged disk in the same resource group as the cluster.
- Premium VM can attach both Standard_LRS and Premium_LRS disks, while Standard VM can only attach Standard_LRS disks.
- Managed VM can only attach managed disks and unmanaged VM can only attach unmanaged disks.
#### Azure File
```yaml
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1

```
* `skuName`: Azure storage account Sku tier. Default is empty.
* `location`: Azure storage account location. Default is empty.
* `storageAccount`: Azure storage account name. Default is empty. If a storage account is not provided, all storage accounts associated with the resource group are searched to find one that matches `skuName` and `location`. If a storage account is provided, it must reside in the same resource group as the cluster, and `skuName` and `location` are ignored.
During provision, a secret is created for mounting credentials. If the cluster has enabled both [RBAC](/docs/admin/authorization/rbac/) and [Controller Roles](/docs/admin/authorization/rbac/#controller-roles), add the `create` permission of resource `secret` for clusterrole `system:controller:persistent-volume-binder`.
#### Portworx Volume
```yaml
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:

* `block_size`: block size in Kbytes (default: `32`).
* `repl`: number of synchronous replicas to be provided in the form of replication factor [1..3] (default: `1`) A string is expected here i.e.`"1"` and not `1`.
* `io_priority`: determines whether the volume will be created from higher performance or a lower priority storage [high/medium/low] (default: `low`).
* `snap_interval`: clock/time interval in minutes for when to trigger snapshots. Snapshots are incremental based on difference with the prior snapshot, 0 disables snaps (default: `0`). A string is expected here i.e. `"70"` and not `70`.
* `aggregation_level`: specifies the number of chunks the volume would be distributed into, 0 indicates a non-aggregated volume (default: `0`). A string is expected here i.e. `"0"` and not `0`
* `ephemeral`: specifies whether the volume should be cleaned-up after unmount or should be persistent. `emptyDir` use case can set this value to true and `persistent volumes` use case such as for databases like Cassandra should set to false, [true/false] (default `false`). A string is expected here i.e. `"true"` and not `true`.

as shown in the following command:
```
$> kubectl create secret generic sio-secret --type="kubernetes.io/scaleio" --from-literal=username=sioadmin --from-literal=password=d2NABDNjMA== --namespace=default
```
#### StorageOS
```yaml

metadata:
name: fast
provisioner: kubernetes.io/storageos
parameters:
pool: default
description: Kubernetes volume
fsType: ext4
adminSecretNamespace: default
adminSecretName: storageos-secret
```
* `pool`: The name of the StorageOS distributed capacity pool to provision the volume from. Uses the `default` pool which is normally present if not specified.
* `description`: The description to assign to volumes that were created dynamically. All volume descriptions will be the same for the storage class, but different storage classes can be used to allow descriptions for different use cases. Defaults to `Kubernetes volume`.
* `fsType`: The default filesystem type to request. Note that user-defined rules within StorageOS may override this value. Defaults to `ext4`.
* `adminSecretNamespace`: The namespace where the API configuration secret is located. Required if adminSecretName set.
* `adminSecretName`: The name of the secret to use for obtaining the StorageOS API credentials. If not specified, default values will be attempted.
The StorageOS Kubernetes volume plugin can use a Secret object to specify an endpoint and credentials to access the StorageOS API. This is only required when the defaults have been changed.
The secret must be created with type `kubernetes.io/storageos` as shown in the following command:
```
$ kubectl create secret generic storageos-secret --type="kubernetes.io/storageos" --from-literal=apiAddress=tcp://localhost:5705 --from-literal=apiUsername=storageos --from-literal=apiPassword=storageos --namespace=default
```
Secrets used for dynamically provisioned volumes may be created in any namespace and referenced with the `adminSecretNamespace` parameter. Secrets used by pre-provisioned volumes must be created in the same namespace as the PVC that references it.

## Writing Portable Configuration
If you're writing configuration templates or examples that run on a wide range of clusters
and need persistent storage, we recommend that you use the following pattern:
- Do include PersistentVolumeClaim objects in your bundle of config (alongside Deployments, ConfigMaps, etc).
- Do not include PersistentVolume objects in the config, since the user instantiating the config may not have
permission to create PersistentVolumes.
- Give the user the option of providing a storage class name when instantiating the template.
- If the user provides a storage class name, and the cluster is version 1.4 or newer, put that value into the `volume.beta.kubernetes.io/storage-class` annotation of the PVC.
This will cause the PVC to match the right storage class if the cluster has StorageClasses enabled by the admin.
- If the user does not provide a storage class name or the cluster is version 1.3, then instead put a `volume.alpha.kubernetes.io/storage-class: default` annotation on the PVC.
- This will cause a PV to be automatically provisioned for the user with sane default characteristics on some clusters.
- Despite the word `alpha` in the name, the code behind this annotation has `beta` level support.
- Do not use `volume.beta.kubernetes.io/storage-class:` with any value including the empty string since it will prevent DefaultStorageClass admission controller
from running if enabled.
- In your tooling, do watch for PVCs that are not getting bound after some time and surface this to the user, as this may indicate that the cluster has no dynamic
storage support (in which case the user should create a matching PV) or the cluster has no storage system (in which case the user cannot deploy config requiring
PVCs).
- In the future, we expect most clusters to have `DefaultStorageClass` enabled, and to have some form of storage available. However, there may not be any
storage class names which work on all clusters, so continue to not set one by default.
At some point, the alpha annotation will cease to have meaning, but the unset `storageClass` field on the PVC
will have the desired effect.
- Do include PersistentVolumeClaim objects in your bundle of config (alongside
Deployments, ConfigMaps, etc).
- Do not include PersistentVolume objects in the config, since the user instantiating
the config may not have permission to create PersistentVolumes.
- Give the user the option of providing a storage class name when instantiating
the template.
- If the user provides a storage class name, and the cluster is version 1.4
or newer, put that value into the `volume.beta.kubernetes.io/storage-class`
annotation of the PVC. This will cause the PVC to match the right storage
class if the cluster has StorageClasses enabled by the admin.

1.3, then instead put a `volume.alpha.kubernetes.io/storage-class: default`
annotation on the PVC.

sane default characteristics on some clusters.

title: Storage Classes

This document describes the concept of `StorageClass` in Kubernetes. Familiarity
with [volumes](/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/) and
[persistent volumes](/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes) is suggested.
* TOC
{:toc}
## Introduction
A `StorageClass` provides a way for administrators to describe the "classes" of
storage they offer. Different classes might map to quality-of-service levels,
or to backup policies, or to arbitrary policies determined by the cluster
administrators. Kubernetes itself is unopinionated about what classes
represent. This concept is sometimes called "profiles" in other storage
systems.
## The StorageClass Resource
Each `StorageClass` contains the fields `provisioner`, `parameters`, and
`reclaimPolicy`, which are used when a `PersistentVolume` belonging to the
class needs to be dynamically provisioned.
The name of a `StorageClass` object is significant, and is how users can
request a particular class. Administrators set the name and other parameters
of a class when first creating `StorageClass` objects, and the objects cannot
be updated once they are created.
Administrators can specify a default `StorageClass` just for PVCs that don't
request any particular class to bind to: see the
[`PersistentVolumeClaim` section](#persistentvolumeclaims)
for details.
```yaml
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: standard
provisioner: kubernetes.io/aws-ebs
parameters:
type: gp2
reclaimPolicy: Retain
mountOptions:
- debug
```
### Provisioner
Storage classes have a provisioner that determines what volume plugin is used
for provisioning PVs. This field must be specified.
| Volume Plugin | Internal Provisioner| Config Example |
| :--- | :---: | :---: |
| AWSElasticBlockStore | &#x2713; | [AWS](#aws) |
| AzureFile | &#x2713; | [Azure File](#azure-file) |
| AzureDisk | &#x2713; | [Azure Disk](#azure-disk) |
| CephFS | - | - |
| Cinder | &#x2713; | [OpenStack Cinder](#openstack-cinder)|
| FC | - | - |
| FlexVolume | - | - |
| Flocker | &#x2713; | - |
| GCEPersistentDisk | &#x2713; | [GCE](#gce) |
| Glusterfs | &#x2713; | [Glusterfs](#glusterfs) |
| iSCSI | - | - |
| PhotonPersistentDisk | &#x2713; | - |
| Quobyte | &#x2713; | [Quobyte](#quobyte) |
| NFS | - | - |
| RBD | &#x2713; | [Ceph RBD](#ceph-rbd) |
| VsphereVolume | &#x2713; | [vSphere](#vsphere) |
| PortworxVolume | &#x2713; | [Portworx Volume](#portworx-volume) |
| ScaleIO | &#x2713; | [ScaleIO](#scaleio) |
| StorageOS | &#x2713; | [StorageOS](#storageos) |
You are not restricted to specifying the "internal" provisioners
listed here (whose names are prefixed with "kubernetes.io" and shipped
alongside Kubernetes). You can also run and specify external provisioners,
which are independent programs that follow a [specification](https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/design-proposals/storage/volume-provisioning.md)
defined by Kubernetes. Authors of external provisioners have full discretion
over where their code lives, how the provisioner is shipped, how it needs to be
run, what volume plugin it uses (including Flex), etc. The repository [kubernetes-incubator/external-storage](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/external-storage)
houses a library for writing external provisioners that implements the bulk of
the specification plus various community-maintained external provisioners.
For example, NFS doesn't provide an internal provisioner, but an external provisioner
can be used. Some external provisioners are listed under the repository [kubernetes-incubator/external-storage](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/external-storage).
There are also cases when 3rd party storage vendors provide their own external
provisioner.
### Reclaim Policy
Persistent Volumes that are dynamically created by a storage class will have the
reclaim policy specified in the `reclaimPolicy` field of the class, which can be
either `Delete` or `Retain`. If no `reclaimPolicy` is specified when a
`StorageClass` object is created, it will default to `Delete`.
Persistent Volumes that are created manually and managed via a storage class will have
whatever reclaim policy they were assigned at creation.
### Mount Options
Persistent Volumes that are dynamically created by a storage class will have the
mount options specified in the `mountOptions` field of the class.
If the volume plugin does not support mount options but mount options are
specified, provisioning will fail. Mount options are not validated on neither
the class nor PV, so mount of the PV will simply fail if one is invalid.
## Parameters
Storage classes have parameters that describe volumes belonging to the storage
class. Different parameters may be accepted depending on the `provisioner`. For
example, the value `io1`, for the parameter `type`, and the parameter
`iopsPerGB` are specific to EBS. When a parameter is omitted, some default is
used.
### AWS
```yaml
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: slow
provisioner: kubernetes.io/aws-ebs
parameters:
type: io1
zones: us-east-1d, us-east-1c
iopsPerGB: "10"
```
* `type`: `io1`, `gp2`, `sc1`, `st1`. See
[AWS docs](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSVolumeTypes.html)
for details. Default: `gp2`.
* `zone`: AWS zone. If neither `zone` nor `zones` is specified, volumes are
generally round-robin-ed across all active zones where Kubernetes cluster
has a node. `zone` and `zones` parameters must not be used at the same time.
* `zones`: A comma separated list of AWS zone(s). If neither `zone` nor `zones`
is specified, volumes are generally round-robin-ed across all active zones
where Kubernetes cluster has a node. `zone` and `zones` parameters must not
be used at the same time.
* `iopsPerGB`: only for `io1` volumes. I/O operations per second per GiB. AWS
volume plugin multiplies this with size of requested volume to compute IOPS
of the volume and caps it at 20 000 IOPS (maximum supported by AWS, see
[AWS docs](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSVolumeTypes.html).
A string is expected here, i.e. `"10"`, not `10`.
* `encrypted`: denotes whether the EBS volume should be encrypted or not.
Valid values are `"true"` or `"false"`. A string is expected here,
i.e. `"true"`, not `true`.
* `kmsKeyId`: optional. The full Amazon Resource Name of the key to use when
encrypting the volume. If none is supplied but `encrypted` is true, a key is
generated by AWS. See AWS docs for valid ARN value.
### GCE
```yaml
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: slow
provisioner: kubernetes.io/gce-pd
parameters:
type: pd-standard
zones: us-central1-a, us-central1-b
```
* `type`: `pd-standard` or `pd-ssd`. Default: `pd-standard`
* `zone`: GCE zone. If neither `zone` nor `zones` is specified, volumes are
generally round-robin-ed across all active zones where Kubernetes cluster has
a node. `zone` and `zones` parameters must not be used at the same time.
* `zones`: A comma separated list of GCE zone(s). If neither `zone` nor `zones`
is specified, volumes are generally round-robin-ed across all active zones
where Kubernetes cluster has a node. `zone` and `zones` parameters must not
be used at the same time.
### Glusterfs
```yaml
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
kind: StorageClass
metadata:
name: slow
provisioner: kubernetes.io/glusterfs
parameters:
resturl: "http://127.0.0.1:8081"
clusterid: "630372ccdc720a92c681fb928f27b53f"
restauthenabled: "true"
restuser: "admin"
secretNamespace: "default"
secretName: "heketi-secret"
gidMin: "40000"
gidMax: "50000"
volumetype: "replicate:3"
```
* `resturl`: Gluster REST service/Heketi service url which provision gluster
volumes on demand. The general format should be `IPaddress:Port` and this is
a mandatory parameter for GlusterFS dynamic provisioner. If Heketi service is
exposed as a routable service in openshift/kubernetes setup, this can have a
format similar to `http://heketi-storage-project.cloudapps.mystorage.com`
where the fqdn is a resolvable heketi service url.
* `restauthenabled` : Gluster REST service authentication boolean that enables
authentication to the REST server. If this value is 'true', `restuser` and
`restuserkey` or `secretNamespace` + `secretName` have to be filled. This
option is deprecated, authentication is enabled when any of `restuser`,
`restuserkey`, `secretName` or `secretNamespace` is specified.
* `restuser` : Gluster REST service/Heketi user who has access to create volumes
in the Gluster Trusted Pool.
* `restuserkey` : Gluster REST service/Heketi user's password which will be used
for authentication to the REST server. This parameter is deprecated in favor
of `secretNamespace` + `secretName`.
* `secretNamespace`, `secretName` : Identification of Secret instance that
contains user password to use when talking to Gluster REST service. These
parameters are optional, empty password will be used when both
`secretNamespace` and `secretName` are omitted. The provided secret must have
type "kubernetes.io/glusterfs", e.g. created in this way:
```
$ kubectl create secret generic heketi-secret \
--type="kubernetes.io/glusterfs" --from-literal=key='opensesame' \
--namespace=default
```
Example of a secret can be found in
[glusterfs-provisioning-secret.yaml](https://github.com/kubernetes/examples/tree/master/staging/persistent-volume-provisioning/glusterfs/glusterfs-secret.yaml).
* `clusterid`: `630372ccdc720a92c681fb928f27b53f` is the ID of the cluster
which will be used by Heketi when provisioning the volume. It can also be a
list of clusterids, for example:
`"8452344e2becec931ece4e33c4674e4e,42982310de6c63381718ccfa6d8cf397"`. This
is an optional parameter.
* `gidMin`, `gidMax` : The minimum and maximum value of GID range for the
storage class. A unique value (GID) in this range ( gidMin-gidMax ) will be
used for dynamically provisioned volumes. These are optional values. If not
specified, the volume will be provisioned with a value between 2000-2147483647
which are defaults for gidMin and gidMax respectively.
* `volumetype` : The volume type and its parameters can be configured with this
optional value. If the volume type is not mentioned, it's up to the provisioner
to decide the volume type.
For example:
'Replica volume':
`volumetype: replicate:3` where '3' is replica count.
'Disperse/EC volume':
`volumetype: disperse:4:2` where '4' is data and '2' is the redundancy count.
'Distribute volume':
`volumetype: none`
For available volume types and administration options, refer to the
[Administration Guide](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Storage/3.1/html/Administration_Guide/part-Overview.html).
For further reference information, see
[How to configure Heketi](https://github.com/heketi/heketi/wiki/Setting-up-the-topology).
When persistent volumes are dynamically provisioned, the Gluster plugin
automatically creates an endpoint and a headless service in the name
`gluster-dynamic-<claimname>`. The dynamic endpoint and service are automatically
deleted when the persistent volume claim is deleted.
### OpenStack Cinder
```yaml
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: gold
provisioner: kubernetes.io/cinder
parameters:
type: fast
availability: nova
```
* `type`: [VolumeType](https://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/dashboard-manage-volumes.html)
created in Cinder. Default is empty.
* `availability`: Availability Zone. If not specified, volumes are generally
round-robin-ed across all active zones where Kubernetes cluster has a node.
### vSphere
1. Create a StorageClass with a user specified disk format.
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: fast
provisioner: kubernetes.io/vsphere-volume
parameters:
diskformat: zeroedthick
`diskformat`: `thin`, `zeroedthick` and `eagerzeroedthick`. Default: `"thin"`.
2. Create a StorageClass with a disk format on a user specified datastore.
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: fast
provisioner: kubernetes.io/vsphere-volume
parameters:
diskformat: zeroedthick
datastore: VSANDatastore
`datastore`: The user can also specify the datastore in the StorageClass.
The volume will be created on the datastore specified in the storage class,
which in this case is `VSANDatastore`. This field is optional. If the
datastore is not specified, then the volume will be created on the datastore
specified in the vSphere config file used to initialize the vSphere Cloud
Provider.
3. Storage Policy Management inside kubernetes
* Using existing vCenter SPBM policy
One of the most important features of vSphere for Storage Management is
policy based Management. Storage Policy Based Management (SPBM) is a
storage policy framework that provides a single unified control plane
across a broad range of data services and storage solutions. SPBM enables
vSphere administrators to overcome upfront storage provisioning challenges,
such as capacity planning, differentiated service levels and managing
capacity headroom.
The SPBM policies can be specified in the StorageClass using the
`storagePolicyName` parameter.
* Virtual SAN policy support inside Kubernetes
Vsphere Infrastructure (VI) Admins will have the ability to specify custom
Virtual SAN Storage Capabilities during dynamic volume provisioning. You
can now define storage requirements, such as performance and availability,
in the form of storage capabilities during dynamic volume provisioning.
The storage capability requirements are converted into a Virtual SAN
policy which are then pushed down to the Virtual SAN layer when a
persistent volume (virtual disk) is being created. The virtual disk is
distributed across the Virtual SAN datastore to meet the requirements.
You can see [Storage Policy Based Management for dynamic provisioning of volumes](https://vmware.github.io/vsphere-storage-for-kubernetes/documentation/policy-based-mgmt.html)
for more details on how to use storage policies for persistent volumes
management.
There are few
[vSphere examples](https://github.com/kubernetes/examples/tree/master/staging/volumes/vsphere)
which you try out for persistent volume management inside Kubernetes for vSphere.

* `registry`: Quobyte registry to use to mount the volume. You can specify the
registry as ``<host>:<port>`` pair or if you want to specify multiple
registries you just have to put a comma between them e.q.
``<host1>:<port>,<host2>:<port>,<host3>:<port>``.
The host can be an IP address or if you have a working DNS you can also
provide the DNS names.
* `adminSecretNamespace`: The namespace for `adminSecretName`.
Default is "default".
* `adminSecretName`: secret that holds information about the Quobyte user and
the password to authenticate against the API server. The provided secret

### Azure Disk
#### Azure Unmanaged Disk Storage Class
```yaml
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: slow
provisioner: kubernetes.io/azure-disk
parameters:
skuName: Standard_LRS
location: eastus
storageAccount: azure_storage_account_name
```
* `skuName`: Azure storage account Sku tier. Default is empty.
* `location`: Azure storage account location. Default is empty.
* `storageAccount`: Azure storage account name. If a storage account is provided,
it must reside in the same resource group as the cluster, and `location` is
ignored. If a storage account is not provided, a new storage account will be
created in the same resource group as the cluster.
#### New Azure Disk Storage Class (starting from v1.7.2)
```yaml
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: slow
provisioner: kubernetes.io/azure-disk
parameters:
storageaccounttype: Standard_LRS
kind: Shared
```
* `storageaccounttype`: Azure storage account Sku tier. Default is empty.
* `kind`: Possible values are `shared` (default), `dedicated`, and `managed`.
When `kind` is `shared`, all unmanaged disks are created in a few shared
storage accounts in the same resource group as the cluster. When `kind` is
`dedicated`, a new dedicated storage account will be created for the new
unmanaged disk in the same resource group as the cluster.
- Premium VM can attach both Standard_LRS and Premium_LRS disks, while Standard
VM can only attach Standard_LRS disks.
- Managed VM can only attach managed disks and unmanaged VM can only attach
unmanaged disks.
### Azure File
```yaml
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: azurefile
provisioner: kubernetes.io/azure-file
parameters:
skuName: Standard_LRS
location: eastus
storageAccount: azure_storage_account_name
```
* `skuName`: Azure storage account Sku tier. Default is empty.
* `location`: Azure storage account location. Default is empty.
* `storageAccount`: Azure storage account name. Default is empty. If a storage
account is not provided, all storage accounts associated with the resource
group are searched to find one that matches `skuName` and `location`. If a
storage account is provided, it must reside in the same resource group as the
cluster, and `skuName` and `location` are ignored.
During provision, a secret is created for mounting credentials. If the cluster
has enabled both [RBAC](/docs/admin/authorization/rbac/) and
[Controller Roles](/docs/admin/authorization/rbac/#controller-roles), add the
`create` permission of resource `secret` for clusterrole
`system:controller:persistent-volume-binder`.
### Portworx Volume
```yaml
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: portworx-io-priority-high
provisioner: kubernetes.io/portworx-volume
parameters:
repl: "1"
snap_interval: "70"
io_priority: "high"
```
* `fs`: filesystem to be laid out: [none/xfs/ext4] (default: `ext4`).
* `block_size`: block size in Kbytes (default: `32`).
* `repl`: number of synchronous replicas to be provided in the form of
replication factor [1..3] (default: `1`) A string is expected here i.e.
`"1"` and not `1`.
* `io_priority`: determines whether the volume will be created from higher
performance or a lower priority storage [high/medium/low] (default: `low`).
* `snap_interval`: clock/time interval in minutes for when to trigger snapshots.
Snapshots are incremental based on difference with the prior snapshot, 0
disables snaps (default: `0`). A string is expected here i.e.
`"70"` and not `70`.
* `aggregation_level`: specifies the number of chunks the volume would be
distributed into, 0 indicates a non-aggregated volume (default: `0`). A string
is expected here i.e. `"0"` and not `0`
* `ephemeral`: specifies whether the volume should be cleaned-up after unmount
or should be persistent. `emptyDir` use case can set this value to true and
`persistent volumes` use case such as for databases like Cassandra should set
to false, [true/false] (default `false`). A string is expected here i.e.
`"true"` and not `true`.
### ScaleIO
```yaml
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: slow
provisioner: kubernetes.io/scaleio
parameters:
gateway: https://192.168.99.200:443/api
system: scaleio
protectionDomain: pd0
storagePool: sp1
storageMode: ThinProvisioned

* `secretRef`: reference to a configured Secret object (required)
* `readOnly`: specifies the access mode to the mounted volume (default false)
* `fsType`: the file system to use for the volume (default ext4)
The ScaleIO Kubernetes volume plugin requires a configured Secret object.
The secret must be created with type `kubernetes.io/scaleio` and use the same
namespace value as that of the PVC where it is referenced
as shown in the following command:
```shell
kubectl create secret generic sio-secret --type="kubernetes.io/scaleio" \
--from-literal=username=sioadmin --from-literal=password=d2NABDNjMA== \
--namespace=default
```
### StorageOS
```yaml
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: fast
provisioner: kubernetes.io/storageos
parameters:
pool: default
description: Kubernetes volume
fsType: ext4
adminSecretNamespace: default
adminSecretName: storageos-secret
```
* `pool`: The name of the StorageOS distributed capacity pool to provision the
volume from. Uses the `default` pool which is normally present if not specified.
* `description`: The description to assign to volumes that were created dynamically.
All volume descriptions will be the same for the storage class, but different
storage classes can be used to allow descriptions for different use cases.
Defaults to `Kubernetes volume`.
* `fsType`: The default filesystem type to request. Note that user-defined rules
within StorageOS may override this value. Defaults to `ext4`.
* `adminSecretNamespace`: The namespace where the API configuration secret is
located. Required if adminSecretName set.
* `adminSecretName`: The name of the secret to use for obtaining the StorageOS
API credentials. If not specified, default values will be attempted.
The StorageOS Kubernetes volume plugin can use a Secret object to specify an
endpoint and credentials to access the StorageOS API. This is only required when
the defaults have been changed.
The secret must be created with type `kubernetes.io/storageos` as shown in the
following command:
```shell
kubectl create secret generic storageos-secret \
--type="kubernetes.io/storageos" \
--from-literal=apiAddress=tcp://localhost:5705 \
--from-literal=apiUsername=storageos \
--from-literal=apiPassword=storageos \
--namespace=default
```
Secrets used for dynamically provisioned volumes may be created in any namespace
and referenced with the `adminSecretNamespace` parameter. Secrets used by
pre-provisioned volumes must be created in the same namespace as the PVC that
references it.
