Sharing AWS EFS Access Points across Persistent Volumes - amazon-web-services

Question

I have an Access Point created on AWS EFS and now I do need to share it across multiple Persistent Volumes in Kubernetes which would eventually be used by multiple namespaces.
Is there a way that I can perform those, or would I need to create a separate volume with size allocation under the same mount point?

...share it across multiple Persistent Volumes in Kubernetes which would eventually be used by multiple namespaces
First, install the EFS CSI driver.
Then create the StorageClass and PersistentVolume representing the EFS volume and access point you have created:
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: <name>
provisioner: efs.csi.aws.com
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
name: <name>
spec:
capacity:
storage: 1Gi
volumeMode: Filesystem
accessModes:
- ReadWriteMany
persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain
storageClassName: <name> # <-- match this to the StorageClass name
csi:
driver: efs.csi.aws.com
volumeHandle: <fs-handle-id>::<access-point-id>
In each of the namespace that you wish to mount the access point, create a PersistentVolumeClaim:
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
name: <name>
namespace: <namespace>
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteMany
storageClassName: <name> # <-- match this to the StorageClass name
resources:
requests:
storage: 1Gi # <-- match this to the PersistentVolume
As usual, you specify the volume in your spec to use it:
...
volumes:
- name: <name>
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: <name>
