Google Cloud, Kubernetes and Volumes - google-cloud-platform

Question

I'm new to GCE and K8s and I'm trying to figure out my first deployment, but I get an error with my volumes:
Failed to attach volume "pv0001" on node "xxxxx" with: GCE persistent disk not found: diskName="pd-disk-1" zone="europe-west1-b"
Error syncing pod, skipping: timeout expired waiting for volumes to attach/mount for pod "xxx". list of unattached/unmounted volumes=[registrator-claim0]
This is my storage yaml:
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
name: pv0001
spec:
capacity:
storage: 10Gi
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
gcePersistentDisk:
fsType: ext4
pdName: pd-disk-1
This is my Claim:
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
creationTimestamp: null
name: registrator-claim0
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 100Mi
status: {}
This is my Deployment:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
creationTimestamp: null
name: consul
spec:
replicas: 1
strategy: {}
template:
metadata:
creationTimestamp: null

volumeMounts:

volumes:

What am I doing wrong? Figuring out K8s and GCE isn't that easy. These errors are not exactly helping. Hope someone can help me.

Answer 1

you've to create the actual storage before you define the PV, this can be done with sth like:
# make sure you're in the right zone
$ gcloud config set compute/europe-west1-b
# create the disk
$ gcloud compute disks create --size 10GB pd-disk-1
Once thats available you can create the PV and the PVC
