Atomic Storage Clients
Summary
Kubernetes provides a mechanism for providing storage to containers called Persistent Volumes. Persistent Volumes support several underlying storage protocols, but clients are needed to support each type. Native GlusterFS and Ceph clients will be added to the Atomic host base to support new Persistent Volume types.

Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 24
- Last updated: 2016-01-11
- Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
Detailed Description
By design, Docker container internal storage is ephemeral in nature and data is lost when a container is stopped. Kubernetes uses Persistent Volumes to provide a means for containers to keep data for extended periods of time and between restarts.
A Persistent Volume (PV) in Kubernetes represents a real piece of underlying storage capacity in the infrastructure. Persistent volumes are intended for "network volumes" like NFS shares, GlusterFS volumes, or Ceph devices.
In order to access the underlying storage, the appropriate drivers must be available to Kubernetes on the Atomic host. We will add the appropriate packages to support the following Persistent Volume types:
- GlusterFS
- RBD (Ceph Block Device)
Both projects currently have packages available and accepted in Fedora for general use. No new packaging should be required.
Benefit to Fedora
Kubernetes Persistent Volumes support is currently limited to NFS and iSCSI. Adding these two open source software defined storage clients will expand the capabilities of the Atomic platform to more use cases.
Scope
- Proposal owners:
- Add GlusterFS client Fedora packages to Atomic package list
- Add Ceph client Fedora packages to Atomic package list
- The Ceph packaging will be changing to reduce the number of dependencies. This may cause some bloat in the image until fixed.

Upgrade/compatibility impact
This is additional functionality, not a replacement for existing. Can be safely ignored if not needed. N/A (not a System Wide Change)
How To Test
- 0. Access to an appropriate storage cluster (gluster or ceph)
- 1. Configure kubernetes on an Atomic host or cluster of hosts.
- 2. Mount storage on hosts with native client
- 3. Create a physical volume in the mount point in kubernetes
- 4. Create a volume claim in kubernetes
- 5. Use volume claim in pod definition
