Configuring NVME local device setup for AWS

Before you begin

Setup AWS EKS cluster following this tutorial until step 6 of section Deploy a database instance on your Amazon EKS cluster.

Procedure

  1. Deploy the openebs-lite operator: 
    kubectl apply -f https://openebs.github.io/charts/openebs-operator-lite.yaml 
kubectl apply -f https://openebs.github.io/charts/openebs-lite-sc.yaml
  2. Deploy the Storage Class using the spec, BlockDeviceSelectors, as this spec needs to use the NVME node group: 
    cat << EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
kind: StorageClass
metadata:
  name: local-device
  annotations:
    openebs.io/cas-type: local
    cas.openebs.io/config: |
      - name: StorageType
        value: device
      - name: FSType
        value: ext4
      - name: BlockDeviceSelectors
        data:
           eks.amazonaws.com/nodegroup: "${NODE_GROUP}"
provisioner: openebs.io/local
reclaimPolicy: Delete
volumeBindingMode: WaitForFirstConsumer
EOF
    Note: Replace ​${NODE_GROUP} with the name that was selected for nodegroup when NVME node groups are created as part of pre-requisites tutorial.
