DevOps(Day-47): Accessing data in the Persistent Volume

  

  • What are Persistent Volumes in k8s?

  • Task: Accessing data in the Persistent Volume

Kubernetes persistent volumes are administrator-provided volumes. They have predefined properties including file system, size, and identifiers like volume ID and name.

Persistent volumes are independent of the lifecycle of the pod that uses it, meaning that even if the pod shuts down, the data in the volume is not erased. They are defined by an API object, which captures the implementation details of storage such as NFS file shares, or specific cloud storage systems.

For a Pod to start using these volumes, it must request a volume by issuing a persistent volume claim (PVC). PVCs describe the storage capacity and characteristics a pod requires, and the cluster attempts to match the request and provision the desired persistent volume.

    1. Navigate to the inside of one of the Pods and create a file in the Pod.

    2. Now, delete that pod, by deleting the deployment and check if the file in the new pod is created after applying the deployment again in the server.

    3. You can see the file remains intact, that's the beauty of volume. Even if the pod gets deleted somehow or in case of any mishap the data persists.

Thanks for reading my article. Have a nice day.

DevOps(Day-97): Meta-Arguments in Terraform

  TABLE OF CONTENTS Write about meta-arguments and their use in Terraform. Task-01: Meta-Arguments HandsOn Count for-each When you define a resource block in Terraform, by default, this specifies one resource that will be created. To manage several of the same resources, you can use either count or for_each, which removes the need to write a separate block of code for each one. Using these options reduces overhead and makes your code neater. count is what is known as a ‘meta-argument’ defined by the Terraform language. Meta-arguments help achieve certain requirements within the resource block. Write about meta-arguments and their use in Terraform. Meta-arguments in Terraform refer to a set of special arguments that can be used to define how a particular resource or module behaves within a Terraform configuration. These arguments provide additional configuration options and enable fine-grained control over the behaviour of resources or modules. Meta-arguments are prefixed with the...

DevOps(Day-95): Auto Scaling with Terraform

Image
  TABLE OF CONTENTS Understanding Scaling Pre-requisites Task 1: Create an Auto Scaling Group Task 2: Test Scaling Yesterday, we learned how to AWS S3 Bucket with Terraform. Today, we will see how to scale our infrastructure with Terraform. Understanding Scaling Scaling is the process of adding or removing resources to match the changing demands of your application. As your application grows, you will need to add more resources to handle the increased load. And as the load decreases, you can remove the extra resources to save costs. Terraform makes it easy to scale your infrastructure by providing a declarative way to define your resources. You can define the number of resources you need and Terraform will automatically create or destroy the resources as needed. Pre-requisites Create a  terraform.tf  file declaring the providers to be installed in the system according to the resources required. Create a  provider.tf  file to declare the region. Create a  vp...

DevOps (Day-1) Introduction

Image
  TABLE OF CONTENTS Infrastructure Automation Why DevOps is Important? What is DevOps? As the name indicates:- Dev + Ops = Development + Operations. Development i) Backend Developers ii) Front-end Developers iii) QA Operations i) System admins ii) Network admins iii) Database admins The practice of operations and development engineers participating together in the entire service lifecycle through a pipeline from design through the development process to production support. This process is known as DevOps. This is a process of automating the whole infrastructure. Now here comes a query, what are we automating? We are automating the whole team's work from the code-building stage to code deployment. Scenario 1:- In a company, there is a project in which developers are writing the code and deploying it to the QA environment frequently for each sprint. This code is then tested by the testing team. Suppose there is a situation of mishap happens where the testing team used the older code ...
