Volumes can be mounted and unmounted by using FlexVolume. By default, Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) allows you to mount the following types of volume: disk volumes, File Storage NAS (NAS) volumes, and Object Storage Service (OSS) volumes. This topic lists the latest changes to FlexVolume.

Introduction

FlexVolume is a traditional mechanism developed by the Kubernetes community to extend the storage of Kubernetes clusters. ACK supports FlexVolume. FlexVolume consists of the following parts:

  • FlexVolume: Mounts and unmounts volumes. By default, ACK allows you to mount the following types of volume: disk volumes, NAS volumes, and OSS volumes.

  • Disk-Controller: automatically creates disk volumes.

  • Nas-Controller: automatically creates NAS volumes.
