Preparing the files Storage

About this task

The lnk-server deployment requires a persistent volume mounted at /opt/data/hipfiles.

Complete the following steps to create the EFS access point, Persistent Volume (PV), and Persistent Volume Claim (PVC).

Procedure

  1. Create the EFS access point for the files volume. 
    EFS_AP_FILES=$(aws efs create-access-point \
  --file-system-id $EFS_FS_ID \
  --posix-user Uid=1000,Gid=1000 \
  --root-directory "Path=/opt/data/hipfiles,CreationInfo={OwnerUid=1000,OwnerGid=1000,Permissions=777}" \
  --region $AWS_REGION \
  --query 'AccessPointId' \
  --output text)
  2. Create the Persistent Volume (PV) for the files storage. 
    echo "
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
  name: link-files-pv
spec:
  capacity:
    storage: 5Gi
  volumeMode: Filesystem
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteMany
  persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain
  storageClassName: efs-sc
  csi:
    driver: efs.csi.aws.com
    volumeHandle: $EFS_FS_ID::$EFS_AP_FILES
" | kubectl apply -f -
  3. Create the Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) and bind it to the PV. 
    echo "
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: link-files-pvc
spec:
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteMany
  storageClassName: efs-sc
  volumeName: link-files-pv
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 5Gi
" | kubectl apply -f -
  4. Verify that the PVC was created and successfully bound to the PV. 
    kubectl get pvc link-files-pvc
    Example output:
    NAME            STATUS    VOLUME            CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES    STORAGECLASS    VOLUMEATTRIBUTESCLASS    AGE
