EKS Persistent Storage With EFS Amazon Service

#aws #devops #eks #efs

How to configure EKS Persistent Storage with EFS Amazon service for your Kubernetes cluster to use

1. Create EFS Volume

Get important elements after creating EFS

File System ID: fs-5cc93c7c
DNS Name: fs-5cc93c7c.efs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com

2. Create k8s resources to consume the EFS volume

2.1 Create EFS provisioner

root@ctl:~/efs-eks-demo# kubectl apply -f efs-provisioner-deployment.yaml 
namespace/demo created
serviceaccount/efs-provisioner created
clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/efs-provisioner created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/efs-provisioner created
role.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/leader-locking-efs-provisioner created
rolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/leader-locking-efs-provisioner created
deployment.apps/efs-provisioner created
configmap/efs-provisioner-config created

root@ctl:~/efs-eks-demo# kubectl get pod -n demo
NAME                               READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
efs-provisioner-84bbf9b5fc-zx5hs   1/1     Running   0          30s

root@ctl:~/efs-eks-demo# kubectl get configmap -n demo
NAME                     DATA   AGE
efs-provisioner-config   4      62s

2.2 Create PVC

root@ctl:~/efs-eks-demo# kubectl apply -f efs-pvc.yaml 
storageclass.storage.k8s.io/efs-sc created
persistentvolumeclaim/efs-demo-claim created

root@ctl:~/efs-eks-demo# kubectl get pvc -n demo
NAME             STATUS   VOLUME                                     CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   STORAGECLASS   AGE
efs-demo-claim   Bound    pvc-e00f83c9-4168-41ba-ae8b-08bc57f466e4   100Mi      RWX            aws-efs        10s

root@ctl:~/efs-eks-demo# kubectl get storageclass
NAME            PROVISIONER             RECLAIMPOLICY   VOLUMEBINDINGMODE   ALLOWVOLUMEEXPANSION   AGE
efs-sc          aws-efs                 Delete          Immediate           false                  27s

2.3 Deploying the stateful services writer and reader the EFS volume

root@ctl:~/efs-eks-demo# kubectl apply -f efs-writer.yaml 
pod/efs-writer created

root@ctl:~/efs-eks-demo# kubectl apply -f efs-reader.yaml 
pod/efs-reader created

root@ctl:~/efs-eks-demo# kubectl get pod -n demo
NAME                               READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
efs-provisioner-84bbf9b5fc-zx5hs   1/1     Running   0          3m6s
efs-reader                         1/1     Running   0          7s
efs-writer                         1/1     Running   0          14s

2.4 Verify that the efs-reader pod is able to successfully read the same data from the shared persistent volume

root@ctl:~/efs-eks-demo# kubectl exec -it efs-writer -n demo -- tail /shared/out.txt

efs-writer.demo - Sun Dec 13 16:59:09 UTC 2020
