Configuring Storage Classes in Azure

If you are using Azure VMs for your nodes, you can use Azure files as a StorageClass for the cluster.

In order to have the Azure platform create the required storage resources, follow these steps:

  1. Configure the Azure cloud provider.

  2. Configure kubectl to connect to your cluster.

  3. Copy the ClusterRole and ClusterRoleBinding manifest for the service account: ```yml — apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1 kind: ClusterRole metadata: name: system:azure-cloud-provider rules:

    • apiGroups: [''] resources: ['secrets'] verbs: ['get','create']  —  apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1 kind: ClusterRoleBinding metadata: name: system:azure-cloud-provider roleRef: kind: ClusterRole apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io name: system:azure-cloud-provider subjects:

    • kind: ServiceAccount name: persistent-volume-binder namespace: kube-system `

  4. Create these in your cluster using one of the follow command.

    # kubectl create -f <MANIFEST>
