Object Storage Service (OSS) is a secure, cost-effective, high-capacity, and high-durability cloud storage service provided by Alibaba Cloud. An OSS bucket can be mounted to multiple pods. OSS is suitable for data that is frequently read but does not require high disk IOPS, such as configuration files, video files, and images. You can use RAM Roles for Service Accounts (RRSA) authentication or AccessKey pair authentication to mount statically provisioned OSS volumes to your applications. If you need to regularly rotate AccessKey pairs in clusters that run Kubernetes 1.26 or later, we recommend that you use RRSA authentication. This prevents ossfs from remounting OSS volumes and your business from being restarted when AccessKey pairs are rotated.
Prerequisites
An ACK cluster is created. For more information, see Create an ACK managed cluster.
An OSS bucket is created. The bucket belongs to the same Alibaba Cloud account as your cluster.
NoteIf the OSS bucket and the Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances in your cluster are deployed in the same region, select the internal endpoint for the bucket.
Usage notes
We recommend that you do not use OSS buckets across accounts.
We recommend that you add health check settings to the YAML file of the pod to which the OSS bucket is mounted to restart the pod and remount the OSS volume when the OSS directory becomes unavailable.
NoteWhen the system updates a Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) cluster, kubelet is restarted. In this case, ossfs is also restarted, which causes the OSS directory to be unavailable. The preceding issue is fixed in csi-plugin 1.18.8.45 and later and csi-provisioner 1.18.8.45 and later. We recommend that you update csi-plugin and csi-provisioner to 1.18.8.45 or later at the earliest opportunity.
If the securityContext.fsgroup parameter is specified in the application template, the kubelet performs the
chmod
orchown
operation after the volume is mounted, which increases the time consumption. For more information about how to speed up the mounting process when the securityContext.fsgroup parameter is specified, see Why does it require a long period of time to mount an OSS volume?When you use ossfs to perform List operations, HTTP requests are sent to OSS to retrieve the metadata of the requested files. If the listed directory contains large numbers of files, such as more than 100,000 files (the actual number depends on the memory of the node), ossfs will occupy large amounts of system memory. As a result, Out of Memory (OOM) errors may occur in pods. To resolve this issue, divide the directory or mount a subdirectory in the OSS bucket.
ossfs is applicable to concurrent read scenarios. When you use persistent volume claims (PVCs) and persistent volumes (PVs) to mount OSS volumes in concurrent read scenarios, we recommend that you set the access modes of the PVCs and PVs to ReadOnlyMany. To handle write operations, we recommend that you use the OSS SDKs or ossutil to split reads and writes and set the access mode of the OSS volume to ReadWriteMany. For more information, see Best practice for OSS read/write splitting.
Importantossfs does not guarantee the consistency of data written by concurrent write operations.
When the OSS volume is mounted to a pod, if you log on to the pod or the host of the pod and delete or modify a file in the mounted path, the source file in the OSS bucket is also deleted or modified. To avoid accidentally deleting important data, you can enable version control for the OSS bucket. For more information, see Versioning.
If you want to upload a file larger than 10 MB to OSS, you can split the file into multiple parts and separately upload the parts. After a multipart upload task is interrupted, you can delete the parts that are no longer needed. For more information about how to delete parts, see Manually delete parts or Configure lifecycle rules to delete parts.
Use RRSA authentication to mount a statically provisioned OSS volume
You can use the RRSA feature to enforce access control on different PVs that are deployed in an ACK cluster. This implements fine-grained API permission control on PVs and reduces security risks. For more information, see Use RRSA to authorize different pods to access different cloud services.
This mount method supports only ACK managed clusters and ACK Serverless clusters that run Kubernetes 1.26 or later and have Container Storage Interface (CSI) 1.30.4 or later installed. If RRSA is enabled for your cluster and a CSI version earlier than 1.30.4 is installed in the cluster, refer to [Product Changes] ossfs version upgrade and mounting process optimization in CSI to grant permissions to the RAM role used by your cluster.
Step 1: Create a RAM role
This step is required if this is the first time you enable RRSA for your cluster. Skip this step if you have previously used RRSA authentication to mount OSS volumes in the cluster.
Log on to the ACK console and enable RRSA. For more information, see Enable RRSA.
Create a RAM role for mounting OSS volumes by using RRSA authentication. The RAM role is assumed by your cluster when it uses RRSA to mount OSS volumes.
When you create the RAM role, select IdP for the Select Trusted Entity parameter. In the following example, a RAM role named demo-role-for-rrsa is created.
Log on to the RAM console with your Alibaba Cloud account.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose . On the Roles page, click Create Role.
In the Create Role panel, select IdP for Select Trusted Entity and click Next.
On the Configure Role wizard page, set the following parameters and click OK.
The following table describes the parameters.
Parameter
Description
RAM Role Name
Set the value to demo-role-for-rrsa.
Note
Enter the description of the RAM role. This parameter is optional.
IdP Type
Select OIDC.
Select IdP
Select an identity provider (IdP). The IdP is named in the ack-rrsa-<cluster_id> format. <cluster_id> indicates the ID of your cluster.
Conditions
oidc:iss: Use the default value.
oidc:aud: Select sts.aliyuncs.com.
oidc:sub: Select StringEquals and enter system:serviceaccount:ack-csi-fuse:csi-fuse-ossfs.
Step 2: Grant permissions to the demo-role-for-rrsa role
Create a custom policy to grant OSS access permissions to the RAM user. For more information, see Create custom policies.
Select the read-only policy or read-write policy based on your business requirements. Replace
mybucket
with the name of the bucket you created.Policy that provides read-only permissions on OSS
Policy that provides read-write permissions on OSS
Optional. If the objects in the OSS bucket are encrypted by using a specified customer master key (CMK) in Key Management Service (KMS), you need to grant KMS access permissions to the RAM user. For more information, see Encrypt an OSS volume.
Grant the required permissions to the demo-role-for-rrsa role. For more information, see Grant permissions to a RAM role.
NoteIf you want to use an existing RAM role that has OSS access permissions, you can modify the trust policy of the RAM role. For more information, see Use an existing RAM role and grant the required permissions to the RAM role.
Step 3: Create a PV and a PVC
Create a PV that uses RRSA authentication.
Create a file named pv-rrsa.yaml. In this file, RRSA authentication is enabled.
apiVersion: v1 kind: PersistentVolume metadata: name: pv-oss labels: alicloud-pvname: pv-oss spec: capacity: storage: 5Gi accessModes: - ReadOnlyMany persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain csi: driver: ossplugin.csi.alibabacloud.com volumeHandle: pv-oss # Specify the name of the PV. volumeAttributes: bucket: "oss" # Replace the value with the name of the OSS bucket you created. path: / url: "oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com" otherOpts: "-o umask=022 -o max_stat_cache_size=0 -o allow_other" authType: "rrsa" roleName: "demo-role-for-rrsa"
Parameter
Description

Retain
policy, which indicates that the PV and data in the bucket are not deleted when you delete the PVC.driver
The type of volume driver. In this example, the value is set to ossplugin.csi.alibabacloud.com. This indicates that the OSS CSI plug-in provided by Alibaba Cloud is used.
volumeHandle
The name of the PV.
bucket
The OSS bucket that you want to mount.
path
The path relative to the root directory of the OSS bucket to be mounted. The default value is /. This parameter is supported by CSI 1.14.8.32-c77e277b-aliyun and later.
If you use an ossfs version earlier than 1.91, you must create the path in the OSS bucket in advance. For more information, see Features of ossfs 1.91 and later and ossfs performance benchmarking.
url
The endpoint of the OSS bucket you want to mount. You can retrieve the endpoint from the Overview page of the bucket in the OSS console.
If the bucket is mounted to a node in the same region as the bucket or the bucket can be connected to the node through a virtual private cloud (VPC), use the internal endpoint of the bucket.
If the bucket is mounted to a node in a different region, use the public endpoint of the bucket.
Public endpoints and internal endpoints have different formats:
Format of internal endpoints:
http://oss-{{regionName}}-internal.aliyuncs.com
orhttps://oss-{{regionName}}-internal.aliyuncs.com
.Format of public endpoints:
http://oss-{{regionName}}.aliyuncs.com
orhttps://oss-{{regionName}}.aliyuncs.com
.
ImportantThe

format for internal endpoints is deprecated.otherOpts
You can configure custom parameters in the
-o *** -o ***
format for the OSS volume. Example:-o umask=022 -o max_stat_cache_size=0 -o allow_other
.umask: modifies the permission mask of files in ossfs. For example, if you specify umask=022, the permission mask of files in ossfs changes to 755. By default, the permission mask of files uploaded by using the OSS SDK or the OSS console is 640 in ossfs. Therefore, we recommend that you specify the umask parameter if you want to split reads and writes.
max_stat_cache_size: The maximum number of files whose metadata can be cached in the metadata cache. Metadata caching can accelerate List operations. However, if you modify files by using methods other than ossfs, such as the OSS console, OSS SDK, or ossutil, the metadata of the files may not be updated in real time.
allow_other: allows other users to access the mounted directory. However, these users cannot access the files in the directory.
For more information, see Options supported by ossfs.
authType
The authentication method. Set this parameter to
rrsa
, which indicates that RRSA authentication is used.roleName
Set the value to the name of the RAM role you created or modified in Step 1: Create a RAM role. If you need to configure different permissions for different PVs, you can create multiple RAM roles and specify the RAM roles in the roleName parameter.
NoteFor more information about how to use specified Alibaba Cloud Resource Names (ARNs) or ServiceAccounts in RRSA authentication, see How do I use the specified ARNs or ServiceAccount in RRSA authentication?
Run the following command to create a PV that uses RRSA authentication:

Use AccessKey pair authentication to mount a statically provisioned OSS volume
If the AccessKey pair referenced by the OSS volume is revoked or the required permissions are revoked, the application to which the volume is mounted fails to access OSS and a permission error is reported. To resolve the issue, you need to modify the Secret that stores the AccessKey pair and mount the OSS volume to the application again. In this case, the application is restarted. For more information about how to remount an OSS volume by using ossfs after the AccessKey pair is revoked, see the solution for Scenario 4 in How do I manage the permissions related to OSS volume mounting?
If you need to regularly rotate AccessKey pairs, we recommend that you use RRSA authentication.
Step 1: Create a RAM user that has OSS access permissions and obtain the AccessKey pair of the RAM user
Create a RAM user that has OSS access permissions and obtain the AccessKey pair of the RAM user. Then, grant the RAM user the permissions to access the OSS bucket you created.
Create a RAM user. You can skip this step if you have an existing RAM user. For more information about how to create a RAM user, see Create a RAM user.
Create a custom policy to grant OSS access permissions to the RAM user. For more information, see Create custom policies.
Select the read-only policy or read-write policy based on your business requirements. Replace
mybucket
with the name of the bucket you created.Policy that provides read-only permissions on OSS
Policy that provides read-write permissions on OSS
Optional. If the objects in the OSS bucket are encrypted by using a specified customer master key (CMK) in Key Management Service (KMS), you need to grant KMS access permissions to the RAM user. For more information, see Encrypt an OSS volume.
Grant OSS access permissions to the RAM user. For more information, see Grant permissions to a RAM user.
Create an AccessKey pair for the RAM user. For more information, see Create an AccessKey pair.
Step 2: Create a PV and a PVC and use the PV and PVC to mount the OSS bucket to an application

1. Create a PV and a PVC
You can use one of the following methods to create a PV and a PVC:
Method 1: Create a PV and a PVC by using a Secret
Use a Secret to provide your AccessKey pair to the CSI component.
ImportantIf the AccessKey pair referenced by the OSS volume is revoked or the required permissions are revoked, the application to which the volume is mounted fails to access OSS and a permission error is reported. To resolve the issue, you need to modify the Secret that stores the AccessKey pair and mount the OSS volume to the application again. In this case, the application is restarted. For more information about how to remount an OSS volume by using ossfs after the AccessKey pair is revoked, see the solution for Scenario 4 in How do I manage the permissions related to OSS volume mounting?
If you need to regularly rotate AccessKey pairs, we recommend that you use RRSA authentication.
Method 2: Specify your AccessKey pair in the PV configuration
ImportantIf the AccessKey pair referenced by the OSS volume is revoked or the required permissions are revoked, the application to which the volume is mounted fails to access OSS and a permission error is reported. To resolve this issue, you need to recreate the specified AccessKey and redeploy the application.
If you need to regularly rotate AccessKey pairs, we recommend that you use RRSA authentication.

However, if you modify files by using methods other than ossfs, such as the OSS console, OSS SDK, or ossutil, the metadata of the files may not be updated in real time.
allow_other: allows other users to access the mounted directory. However, these users cannot access the files in the directory.
For more information, see Options supported by ossfs.
path
The path relative to the root directory of the OSS bucket to be mounted. The default value is /. This parameter is supported by CSI 1.14.8.32-c77e277b-aliyun and later.
If you use an ossfs version earlier than 1.91, you must create the path in the OSS bucket in advance. For more information, see Features of ossfs 1.91 and later and ossfs performance benchmarking.
akId
The AccessKey ID that you obtained in the previous step.
akSecret
The AccessKey secret that you obtained in the previous step.
Run the following command to create a PVC:
kubectl create -f pvc-oss.yaml
The following pvc-oss.yaml file is used to create the PVC:
apiVersion: v1 kind: PersistentVolumeClaim metadata: name: pvc-oss spec: accessModes: - ReadOnlyMany resources: requests: storage: 5Gi selector: matchLabels: alicloud-pvname: pv-oss
Parameter
Description
name
The name of the PVC.
accessModes
The access mode. Valid values: ReadOnlyMany and ReadWriteMany.
If you select ReadOnlyMany, ossfs mounts the OSS bucket in read-only mode.
storage
The capacity claimed by the PVC. The claimed capacity cannot exceed the capacity of the PV that is bound to the PVC.
alicloud-pvname
The labels that are used to select and bind a PV to the PVC. The labels must be the same as those of the PV to be bound to the PVC.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose
. On the Persistent Volume Claims page, you can find the created PVC.
2. Create an application.
Create an application named oss-static and mount the PV to the application.
Run the following command to create a file named oss-static.yaml:
kubectl create -f oss-static.yaml
The following oss-static.yaml file is used to create the application:
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: oss-static
labels:
app: nginx
spec:
replicas: 2
selector:
matchLabels:
app: nginx
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: nginx
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx
image: anolis-registry.cn-zhangjiakou.cr.aliyuncs.com/openanolis/nginx:1.14.1-8.6
ports:
- containerPort: 80
volumeMounts:
- name: pvc-oss

livenessProbe
: Configure health checks. For more information, see OSS volumes.mountPath
: the path where the OSS bucket is mounted in the container.claimName
: the name of the PVC that the application uses to mount the NAS file system.
Check whether the OSS volume can persist and share data
Run the following command to query the pods provisioned by the oss-static application.
kubectl get pod
Expected output:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE oss-static-66fbb85b67-d**** 1/1 Running 0 1h oss-static-66fbb85b67-l**** 1/1 Running 0 1h
Select a pod and create a file named tempfile in the pod. In this example, the oss-static-66fbb85b67-d**** pod is used.
If the OSS volume is mounted in ReadWriteMany mode, run the following command to create a file named tmpfile in the /data path:
kubectl exec oss-static-66fbb85b67-d**** -- touch /data/tmpfile
If the OSS volume is mounted in ReadOnlyMany mode, use the OSS console or cp command (upload objects) to upload a file named tmpfile to the corresponding path in the OSS bucket.
Log on to each pod and access the file in the mount path.
In this example, the mount path in the oss-static-66fbb85b67-d**** is
/data
and the mount path in theoss-static-66fbb85b67-l****
pod is/data1
.kubectl exec oss-static-66fbb85b67-d**** -- ls /data | grep tmpfile kubectl exec oss-static-66fbb85b67-l**** -- ls /data1 | grep tmpfile
Expected output:
tmpfile
The output indicates that the file can be accessed from both pods. This means that the pods share the data stored in the OSS volume.
NoteIf no output is returned, check whether the version of the CSI plug-in is 1.20.7 or later. For more information, see csi-plugin.
Recreate a pod.
kubectl delete pod oss-static-66fbb85b67-d****
Expected output:
pod "oss-static-66fbb85b67-d****" deleted
Verify that the file still exists in the OSS bucket after the pod is deleted.
Run the following command to query the pod that is recreated:
kubectl get pod
Expected output:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE oss-static-66fbb85b67-l**** 1/1 Running 0 1h oss-static-66fbb85b67-z**** 1/1 Running 0 40s
Run the following command to query files in the /data path of the pod:
kubectl exec oss-static-66fbb85b67-z**** -- ls /data | grep tmpfile
Expected output:
tmpfile
The output indicates that the tmpfile file still exists. This means that the OSS volume can persist data.
