This repository hosts the brunsgaard/eks-nvme-ssd-provisioner project on Docker Hub.
The advantages of using this prebuilt image are:
- ARM64 image support for ARM (Graviton) based instances (for instance, m6gd) with local disk.
- Hosted on Docker Hub instead of EU GCR, so the author will not incur additional cost.
- Hosted Helm chart.
The eks-nvme-ssd-provisioner will format and mount NVMe SSD disks on EKS nodes. This is needed to make the sig-storage-local-static-provisioner work well with EKS clusters. The eks-nvme-ssd-provisioner will create a raid0 device if multiple NVMe SSD disks are found.
The resources in manifests expect the following node selector
aws.amazon.com/eks-local-ssd: "true"
Therefore you must make sure to set that label on all nodes that you want to use with the eks-nvme-ssd-provisioner and sig-storage-local-static-provisioner.
Install the DaemonSet by applying the following resource
kubectl apply -f manifests/eks-nvme-ssd-provisioner.yaml
Optionally you can also apply a pre-configed local-storage-provisioner that plays well with the eks-nvme-ssd-provisioner
kubectl apply -f manifests/storage-local-static-provisioner.yaml
A hosted Helm chart is available. Use the following commands to use it. https://tablecheck-labs.github.io/eks-nvme-ssd-provisioner/
helm repo add tablecheck-local-provisioner https://tablecheck-labs.github.io/eks-nvme-ssd-provisioner/
helm upgrade --install tablecheck-local-provisioner tablecheck-local-provisioner/eks-nvme-ssd-provisioner
For local installations:
helm upgrade --install --namespace=kube-system eks-nvme-ssd-provisioner ./helm/eks-nvme-ssd-provisioner
- eks-nvme-ssd-provisioner creates disks from block storage
- sig-storage-local-static-provisioner creates PersistentVolumens from disks
In most cases you want both, if you have a another way to setup you disks jump directly to sig-storage-local-static-provisioner
