Container Service for Kubernetes:Manage the lifecycle of OSS buckets

Last Updated:Apr 09, 2024

Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) uses Container Network File System (CNFS) to separately manage the lifecycle of Object Storage Service (OSS) buckets. This topic describes how to use CNFS to manage the lifecycle of OSS buckets and mount OSS buckets to workloads.

Prerequisites

Introduction

To manage the lifecycle of an OSS bucket by using CNFS, you can use one of the following methods:

Note

When you create the CNFS CRD, the following limits apply to BucketName: cnfs-oss-<UUID e.g. clusterid>:

  • If an existing OSS bucket has the same name as the bucket name that you specify, the existing OSS bucket is associated with the ContainerNetworkFileSystem object.

  • If no existing OSS bucket has the same name as the bucket name that you specify, a new OSS bucket with the specified name is created and associated with the ContainerNetworkFileSystem object that you create. For example, if you specify cnfs-oss-<clusterid> as the bucket name, the system creates an OSS bucket named cnfs-oss-<clusterid>. Replace <clusterid> with the ID of your cluster. Make sure that the bucket name is unique.

Method 1: Use CNFS to create an OSS bucket named cnfs-oss-<UUID e.g. clusterid>

  1. Use the following YAML template to create an OSS bucket named cnfs-oss-<UUID e.g. clusterid> by using CNFS and mount the bucket to a Deployment and a StatefulSet as a dynamically provisioned volume.

    Replace <clusterid> with the ID of your cluster.

    # Create the following objects: a CNFS, a StorageClass, a Deployment, and a StatefulSet. 
    cat << EOF | kubectl apply -f -
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Secret
    metadata:
      name: oss-secret
    stringData:
      akId: "xxxx"     # The AccessKey pair that is required for mounting the OSS bucket. 
      akSecret: "xxxx"

      type: oss
      reclaimPolicy: Retain # Only the Retain policy is supported. If the CNFS CRD is deleted, the associated OSS bucket is retained. 
      parameters:
        bucketName: cnfs-oss-<clusterid>  # If an existing bucket has the same name as the bucket name that you specify, the existing bucket is associated with the CNFS. If no existing OSS bucket has the same name as the bucket name that you specify, a new OSS bucket named cnfs-oss-clusterid is created. Replace clusterid with the ID of your cluster and make sure that the bucket name is unique. 
        encryptType: "AES256"   # If an existing OSS bucket is used, the encryption algorithm of the existing bucket is changed to AES-256. If a new OSS bucket is created, AES-256 is used as the encryption algorithm for the bucket.

    description

    The description of the CNFS file system.

    type

    The type of the volume that you want to create.

    reclaimPolicy

    The reclaim policy of the OSS bucket. Only the Retain policy is supported. If the CNFS CRD is deleted, the associated OSS bucket is retained.

    parameters.bucketName

    The name of the OSS bucket.

    parameters.storageType

    The storage type of the OSS bucket. Default value: Standard. Valid values: Valid values:

    • Standard: Standard

    • Archive: Archive

    • ColdArchive: Cold Archive

    Note

    You must restore an Archive or Cold Archive object before you can read or write the object.

    parameters.redundancyType

    The storage redundancy type. Default value: ZRS. Valid values:

    • LRS: Locally redundant storage (LRS) stores multiple copies of your data on multiple devices of different facilities in the same zone. LRS ensures data durability and availability even if hardware failures occur.

    • ZRS: Zone-redundant storage (ZRS) stores multiple copies of your data across multiple zones in the same region. Your data is still accessible even if a zone becomes unavailable.

    Important
    • The parameter is supported only by storage-operator v1.26.2-1de13b6-aliyun and later.

    • If you set the value to ZRS, Cold Archive and Deep Cold Archive are not supported.

    • For more information about the billing rules of different storage types and storage redundancy types, see Billable items.

    parameters.encryptType

    The encryption method of the OSS bucket. Valid values:

    • None: No encryption algorithm is used by the OSS server.

    • AES256: The AES-256 algorithm is used by the OSS server.

    • SM4: The SM4 algorithm is used by the OSS server.

    parameters.aclType

    The type of the access control list (ACL) used by the OSS bucket. Default value: private. Valid values:

    • public-read-write: All users, including anonymous users, can read and write objects in the bucket. Exercise caution when you specify this value.

    • public-read: Only the bucket owner or authorized users can read and write objects in the bucket. Other users can only read objects in the bucket. Exercise caution when you specify this value.

    Important
    • The parameter is supported only by storage-operator v1.26.2-1de13b6-aliyun and later.

    • If you enable versioning for a bucket, you can no longer configure retention policies or OSS-HDFS for the bucket. To configure retention policies or OSS-HDFS, you must set enableVersioning to None.

    • After versioning is enabled for a bucket, you cannot disable versioning for the bucket. However, you can suspend versioning for the bucket.

    • If you enable versioning for a bucket, you are charged for the storage of all versions of objects in the bucket. You can configure lifecycle rules for a bucket to recycle historical versions of objects in the bucket. For more information, see Overview.

    The output shows that the Deployment and the StatefulSet are in the Running state, and the CNFS CRD is mounted to the Deployment.

Method 2: Create a CNFS CRD to specify an existing OSS bucket

Create a CNFS CRD to specify an existing OSS bucket. Then, you can use the CNFS CRD to mount the OSS bucket to a Deployment as a statically or dynamically provisioned volume.

  1. Run the following command to create a CNFS CRD that specifies an existing OSS bucket:

    cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
    apiVersion: storage.alibabacloud.com/v1beta1
    kind: ContainerNetworkFileSystem
    metadata:
      name: cnfs-oss-exist-bucket-name
    spec:
      description: "cnfs-oss"
      type: oss
      reclaimPolicy: Retain
      parameters:
        bucketName: bucket-name # The name of the existing OSS bucket that you want to use. 
    EOF
  2. Run the following command to query information about the OSS bucket:

    kubectl get cnfs/cnfs-oss-exist-bucket-name -o yaml

    Expected output:

    apiVersion: storage.alibabacloud.com/v1beta1
    kind: ContainerNetworkFileSystem

  3. Use the CNFS CRD to mount the OSS bucket as a dynamically provisioned volume to an application.
