Kubernetes User Guide

• supported Kubernetes version: v1.12.0 or later version
• supported agent OS: Linux

Prerequisite

• To ensure that all necessary features are enabled, set the following feature gate flags to true:

--feature-gates=CSIPersistentVolume=true,MountPropagation=true,VolumeSnapshotDataSource=true,KubeletPluginsWatcher=true,CSINodeInfo=true,CSIDriverRegistry=true

CSIPersistentVolume is enabled by default in v1.10. MountPropagation is enabled by default in v1.10. VolumeSnapshotDataSource is a new alpha feature in v1.12. KubeletPluginsWatcher is enabled by default in v1.12. CSINodeInfo and CSIDriverRegistry are new alpha features in v1.12.

• An Cloud provider config file should already exist on all agent nodes

usually it's /etc/kubernetes/azure.json deployed by AKS or acs-engine, and supports both service principal and msi

Install azuredisk CSI driver on a Kubernetes cluster

Please refer to install azuredisk csi driver

E2E Usage example

1. create a pod with csi azuredisk driver mount on linux

Option#1: Azuredisk Dynamic Provisioning

• Create an azuredisk CSI storage class

kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andyzhangx/azuredisk-csi-driver/master/deploy/example/storageclass-azuredisk-csi.yaml

• Create an azuredisk CSI PVC

kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andyzhangx/azuredisk-csi-driver/master/deploy/example/pvc-azuredisk-csi.yaml

Option#2: Azuredisk Static Provisioning(use an existing azure disk)

• Create an azuredisk CSI PV, download pv-azuredisk-csi.yaml file and edit diskName, diskURI in volumeAttributes

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andyzhangx/azuredisk-csi-driver/master/deploy/example/pv-azuredisk-csi.yaml
vi pv-azuredisk-csi.yaml
kubectl create -f pv-azuredisk-csi.yaml

• Create an azuredisk CSI PVC which would be bound to the above PV

kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andyzhangx/azuredisk-csi-driver/master/deploy/example/pvc-azuredisk-csi-static.yaml

2. validate PVC status and create an nginx pod

• make sure pvc is created and in Bound status finally

watch kubectl describe pvc pvc-azuredisk

• create a pod with azuredisk CSI PVC

kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andyzhangx/azuredisk-csi-driver/master/deploy/example/nginx-pod-azuredisk.yaml

3. enter the pod container to do validation

• watch the status of pod until its Status changed from Pending to Running and then enter the pod container

$ watch kubectl describe po nginx-azuredisk
$ kubectl exec -it nginx-azuredisk -- bash
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
overlay          30G   15G   15G  52% /
...
/devhost/sdc        9.8G   37M  9.8G   1% /mnt/azuredisk
...

In the above example, there is a /mnt/azuredisk directory mounted as disk filesystem.
