Example of a pod definition for a Ceph RBDΒΆ

If your virtual machines store data in Ceph, you can attach Ceph RBDs to the virtual machines under Kubernetes control by specifying the required RBDs in the virtual machine pod definition. You do not need to mount the devices in the container.

Virtlet supports the following options for Ceph RBD devices:

Option Paramater
FlexVolume driver kubernetes.io/flexvolume_driver
Type ceph
Monitor ip:port
User user-name
Secret user-secret-key
Volume rbd-image-name
Pool pool-name

The following text is an example of a virtual machine pod definition with one Ceph RBD volume:
