Raw Block Volume

Prerequisites

1. Kubernetes 1.13+ (CSI 1.0).
2. The aws-ebs-csi-driver installed.

Usage

This example shows you how to create and consume a dynamically-provisioned EBS volume as a raw block device.

1. Deploy the provided pod on your cluster along with the StorageClass and PersistentVolumeClaim:

   $ kubectl apply -f manifests
   
   pod/app created
   persistentvolumeclaim/block-claim created
   storageclass.storage.k8s.io/ebs-sc created

2. Validate the PersistentVolumeClaim is bound to your PersistentVolume.

   $ kubectl get pvc block-claim
   
   NAME          STATUS   VOLUME                                     CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   STORAGECLASS   AGE
   block-claim   Bound    pvc-2074bf0a-4726-44f2-bb7a-eb4292d4f40a   10Gi       RWO            ebs-sc

3. Cleanup resources:

   $ kubectl delete -f manifests
   
   pod "app" deleted
   persistentvolumeclaim "block-claim" deleted
   storageclass.storage.k8s.io "ebs-sc" deleted
