You can create a subdirectory in an Apsara File Storage NAS (NAS) file system and map the subdirectory to a dynamically provisioned persistent volume (PV) for applications. This topic describes how to mount a dynamically provisioned NAS volume.

Prerequisites

Precautions

If the securityContext.fsgroup parameter is set in the application template, kubelet performs the chmod or chown operation after the volume is mounted, which increases the time consumption.
Note For more information about how to speed up the mounting process when the securityContext.fsgroup parameter is set, see Why does it require a long time to mount a NAS volume?.

Create a dynamically provisioned NAS volume

  1. Configure a StorageClass.
    Sample code:
    apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
    kind: StorageClass
    metadata:
      name: alicloud-nas
    mountOptions:
    - nolock,tcp,noresvport
    - vers=3
    parameters:
      server: "23a9649583-i****.cn-shenzhen.nas.aliyuncs.com:/nasroot1/"
      driver: flexvolume
    provisioner: alicloud/nas
    reclaimPolicy: Delete
    Parameter Description
    mountOptions The mount options of the PV. The NAS volume is mounted based on the specified mount options.
    server The list of mount targets that are used to provision the PV. The format is nfsurl1:/path1,nfsurl2:/path2. When multiple servers are specified, the PV provisioned by this StorageClass uses the servers in a round robin manner. For Extreme NAS file systems, the path must start with /share.
    driver FlexVolume and NFS are supported. The default driver is NFS.
    reclaimPolicy The reclaim policy of the PV. We recommend that you set the value to Retain.
    • If you set the value to Delete, the name of the subdirectory mapped to the PV is automatically changed after you delete the PV. For example, path-name is changed to archived-path-name.
    • If you want to delete the subdirectory in the NAS file system, set archiveOnDelete to false in the StorageClass configurations.
  2. Use the dynamically provisioned NAS volume in a StatefulSet.
    Create a Service and a StatefulSet by using the following sample code:
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Service
    metadata:
      name: nginx
      labels:
        app: nginx
    spec:
      ports:
      - port: 80
        name: web
      clusterIP: None
      selector:
        app: nginx
    ---
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: StatefulSet
    metadata:
      name: web
    spec:
      selector:
        matchLabels:
          app: nginx
      serviceName: "nginx"
      replicas: 5
      volumeClaimTemplates:
      - metadata:
          name: html
        spec:
          accessModes:
            - ReadWriteOnce
          storageClassName: alicloud-nas
          resources:
            requests:
              storage: 2Gi
      template:
        metadata:
          labels:
            app: nginx
        spec:
          containers:
          - name: nginx
            image: nginx:alpine
            volumeMounts:
            - mountPath: "/data"
              name: html
