Flexvolume Kubernetes Plugins

Here are implementations of flexvolume in kubernetes for iSCSI and SMB. Also helps serve as a scaffolding for building future volume plugins in powershell on Windows.

For more info on Flexvolume see

Supported on version Kubernetes v1.9.9 or higher

Go to https://github.com/Microsoft/K8s-Storage-Plugins/releases/latest and download the latest flexvolume-windows.zip.

Extract into kubernetes volume plugin location on all Windows nodes, the default path is C:\usr\libexec\kubernetes\kubelet-plugins\volume\exec\ (in case of AKS path is C:\k\volumeplugins)

Deployment guide (source)

The default plugin folder location in a Windows kubernetes worker node is C:\usr\libexec\kubernetes\kubelet-plugins\volume\exec\ (in case of AKS path is C:\k\volumeplugins)

  • SMB
    • Copy plugins/microsoft.com~smb.cmd into the plugin folder
  • ISCSI
    • Copy plugins/microsoft.com~iscsi.cmd into the plugin folder
    • Build utils/iscsiHelper
      • If you do not have Visual Studio & Windows SDK see vs_build
      • copy produced iscsiHelper.exe into plugin folder/microsoft.com~iscsi.cmd/
    • Optionally create a pr.txt file in the current working directory that corresponds to that node's SCSI PR to use
      • If none is created a random one will be generated

See https://github.com/andyzhangx/Demo/tree/master/windows/flexvolume for more info.

To get logs for the plugin run Get-EventLog -LogName Application -Source Kube* -Newest 50 | %{$_.message}

Plugins

See sample_yamls for information how to write Persistent Volumes.

  • SMB

    • This plugin allows you to use SMB shares.
    • Currently there is no storage fencing
      • The application must hold locks on the files they use
    • readOnly in flexVolume is ignored
      • to get readOnly behavior, specify volumeMounts when consuming volume
        • readOnly: true

  • iSCSI

    • Plugin allows you to consume iSCSI disks.
    • Provides fencing through the use of SCSI Persistent Reservations

Folder structure

  • plugins/microsoft.com~iscsi.cmd
    • All powershell files needed for iscsi plugin
    • When deploying must add iscsiHelper.exe
  • plugins/microsoft.com~smb.cmd
    • All files for smb plugin
  • sample_yamls
    • some yamls that demonstrate howto use the plugins
  • utils/scriptrunner
    • Serves as a basis for building plugins
    • These files are symlinked into plugin directories
  • utils/iscsiHelper
    • Contains a c++ commandline application that provides some storage features used by iscsi.cmd
  • vs_build
    • Setup a container with Visual Studio 2017 & SDK to build iscsiHelper.exe
      • This is optional, and just provided for ease of use.
      • Beware the produced image file is quite large 25+GB.
