Building Blocks: Dynamic provisioning of Kubernetes Local PV
11-16, 10:25–10:55 (UTC), The Theater

How to dynamically provision Kubernetes Local PV by OpenEBS, with managing the life cycle of block devices for Local PVs


With the Local Persistent Volume plugin, Kubernetes workloads can now consume high performance local storage. While Local Persistent Volumes provide many benefits, they also require careful planning and careful consideration of constraints before committing to them in production (ref Kubernetes.io). The Dynamic Local PV Provisioner can be configured to create a Local PV with either a subpath or the entire disk.

In talk will go over how we are performing dynamic provisioning of local PVs, how the provisioner manages them, how we are managing block devices for them. It will also include a demo of the data agility of these new types of volumes. By the end of the talk, you will know why, how and when to use Local PVs with the dynamic provisioner.
