I just spent an hour+ last week explaining kubernetes storage to some students working on a project for me. I would love to see someone write a "learning path" or something that covers the following:
- Storage Architecture (for lack of a better term)
- in brief, the relationship between PVs, PVCs and mounts
- keep in mind, many non-linux people don't know the word "mount" and don't get me started on "bind mount"
- the "real" kube docs are way to detailed
- why local storage doesn't work in a clustered environment
- A recommendation, with a working example of a recommendation for very simple kubernetes storage where the deployment is a single machine (a la minikube)
- i am imagining a yaml file that would set up the storage for a database as an example
Everything I have found (and my searching may just be bad) covers each storage "option" discretely (rather than how they all fit together) and/or very complex scenarios using cloud storage that may not be available to a beginner.
