Container Service for Kubernetes:Use volumes

Last Updated:Apr 18, 2024

This topic describes how to mount volumes to workflow clusters and then use the volumes.

Usage notes

You can use Object Storage Service (OSS) volumes and Apsara File Storage NAS (NAS) volumes in workflow clusters.

Use OSS volumes

  1. Use the following sample code to create an OSS volume.

    For more information, see Mount a statically provisioned OSS volume. To create other types of volumes, replace the corresponding parameters.

    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Secret
    metadata:
      name: oss-secret
      namespace: default
    stringData:
      akId: <yourAccessKey ID> # Replace with your AccessKey ID. 
      akSecret: <yourAccessKey Secret> # Replace with your AccessKey secret. 
    ---
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: PersistentVolume
    metadata:
      name: pv-oss
      labels:
        alicloud-pvname: pv-oss
    spec:
      capacity:
        storage: 5Gi
      accessModes:
        - ReadWriteMany
      persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain
      csi:
        driver: ossplugin.csi.alibabacloud.com
        volumeHandle: pv-oss   # Specify the name of the persistent volume (PV). 
        nodePublishSecretRef:
          name: oss-secret
          namespace: default
        volumeAttributes:
          bucket: <your bucket name> # Replace with your bucket name. 
          url: "oss-<your region id>-internal.aliyuncs.com" # Replace <your region id> with the region ID of your OSS bucket. For example, if your OSS bucket is created in the China (Beijing) region, the region ID is oss-cn-beijing-internal.aliyuncs.com. 
          otherOpts: "-o max_stat_cache_size=0 -o allow_other -o multipart_size=30 -o parallel_count=20"
          path: "/"  # The root directory of the OSS bucket. You can also specify a subdirectory of the OSS bucket. Example: testdir/testdir1.
    ---
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
    metadata:
      name: pvc-oss
      namespace: default
    spec:
      accessModes:
        - ReadWriteMany
      resources:
        requests:
          storage: 5Gi
      selector:
        matchLabels:
          alicloud-pvname: pv-oss
  2. Use the following sample code to create a workflow to use the OSS volume:

    apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
    kind: Workflow
    metadata:
      generateName: volumes-existing-
      namespace: default
    spec:
      entrypoint: volumes-existing-example
      volumes:
      # Pass my-existing-volume as an argument to the volumes-existing-example template.
      # Same syntax as k8s Pod spec.
      - name: workdir
        persistentVolumeClaim:
          claimName: pvc-oss
    
      templates:
      - name: volumes-existing-example
        steps:
        - - name: generate
            template: whalesay
        - - name: print
            template: print-message
    
      - name: whalesay
        container:
          image: docker/whalesay:latest
          command: [sh, -c]
          args: ["echo generating message in volume; cowsay hello world | tee /mnt/vol/hello_world.txt"]
          volumeMounts:
          - name: workdir
            mountPath: /mnt/vol
    
      - name: print-message
        container:
          image: alpine:latest
          command: [sh, -c]
          args: ["echo getting message from volume; find /mnt/vol; cat /mnt/vol/hello_world.txt"]
          volumeMounts:
          - name: workdir
            mountPath: /mnt/vol

Use NAS volumes

  1. Use the following sample code to create a statically provisioned NAS volume:

    apiVersion: v1
    kind: PersistentVolume
    metadata:
      name: pv-nas
      labels:
        alicloud-pvname: pv-nas
    spec:
      capacity:
        storage: 100Gi
      accessModes:
        - ReadWriteMany
      csi:
        driver: nasplugin.csi.alibabacloud.com
        volumeHandle: pv-nas   # Specify the name of the PV. 
        volumeAttributes:
          server: "<your nas filesystem id>.cn-beijing.nas.aliyuncs.com"
          path: "/"
      mountOptions:
      - nolock,tcp,noresvport
      - vers=3
    ---
    kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
    apiVersion: v1
    metadata:
      name: pvc-nas
    spec:
      accessModes:
        - ReadWriteMany
      resources:
        requests:
          storage: 100Gi
      selector:
        matchLabels:
          alicloud-pvname: pv-nas
  2. Use the following sample code to create a workflow to use the NAS volume.

    apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
    kind: Workflow
    metadata:
      generateName: volumes-existing-
      namespace: default
    spec:
      entrypoint: volumes-existing-example
      volumes:
      # Pass my-existing-volume as an argument to the volumes-existing-example template.
      # Same syntax as k8s Pod spec.
      - name: workdir
        persistentVolumeClaim:
          claimName: pvc-nas
    
      templates:
      - name: volumes-existing-example
        steps:
        - - name: generate
            template: whalesay
        - - name: print
            template: print-message
    
      - name: whalesay
        container:
          image: docker/whalesay:latest
          command: [sh, -c]
          args: ["echo generating message in volume; cowsay hello world | tee /mnt/vol/hello_world.txt"]
          volumeMounts:
          - name: workdir
            mountPath: /mnt/vol
    
      - name: print-message
        container:
          image: alpine:latest
          command: [sh, -c]
          args: ["echo getting message from volume; find /mnt/vol; cat /mnt/vol/hello_world.txt"]
          volumeMounts:
          - name: workdir
            mountPath: /mnt/vol
