Container Engine: Storage Classes & Dynamic Provisioning in Kubernetes

Get an overview of Dynamic Provisioning and Storage Classes in Google Container Engine, a unique feature in Kubernetes, that enables storage to be created automatically when it’s needed. In this video we’ll introduce the concepts, the problems these features solve for, and a demo on how they work together.

Cool video. Although now you have to specify a volumeName in the pvc definition to prevent gcp's pre-defined storage classes from being used to create another volume satisfying the claim

When i'm using kind: deployment instead of pod it's never happening, all created pv and pvc but not the deployment

When I applied pv.yaml I discovered an error that the disk not found. For those who also see the same issue here is the solution: we have to manually go create the persistent disk under compute engine -> disks. Also, we need to create a name space or use the "default"

Could we use nfs or glusterfs instead of physical volumes in *GKE* for dynamic mount?

Hi Saad & Matthew, Would it be possible to provide the slides? I know the deck is small but it would be nice to have. Good talk. Thank you.
