Local Path Provisioner

Installing Local Path Provisioner

Most managed Kubernetes cluster and Kubernetes distributions comes with a StorageClass that allows to create a PersistentVolume on demand whenever a PersistentVolumeClaim requires it.

Some Kubernetes distributions do not provide such facility so that a simple way to overcome this lack is to install the Local Path Provisioner that will provide a StorageClass that is backed by the node local disk. To install you may use the following command:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rancher/local-path-provisioner/v0.0.24/deploy/local-path-storage.yaml
