Build Status Coverage Status

IBM VPC Block Container Storage Interface (CSI) Driver provides a CSI interface used by Container Orchestrators to manage the lifecycle of IBM VPC Block Data volumes.

Supported orchestration platforms

The following are the supported orchestration platforms suitable for deployment for IBM VPC Block CSI Driver.

Orchestration platform Version Architecture
Red Hat® OpenShift® 4.7 x86
Red Hat® OpenShift® 4.8 x86
Red Hat® OpenShift® 4.9 x86
Kubernetes 1.19 x86
Kubernetes 1.20 x86
Kubernetes 1.21 x86

Prerequisites

Following are the prerequisites to use the IBM VPC Block CSI Driver:

  1. User should have either Red Hat® OpenShift® or kubernetes cluster on IBM VPC Gen 2 infrastructure.
  2. Should have compatible orchestration platform.
  3. Install and configure ibmcloud is CLI or get the required worker/node details by using IBM Cloud Console
  4. Cluster's worker node should have following labels, if not please apply labels before deploying IBM VPC Block CSI Driver.
"ibm-cloud.kubernetes.io/worker-id"
"failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region"
"failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone"
"topology.kubernetes.io/region"
"topology.kubernetes.io/zone"

Apply worker labels

Please use apply-required-setup.sh script for all the nodes in the cluster which will need couple of inputs like 

instanceID:  That you can get from ibmcloud is ins 

node-name: this is as per node name in the kubernetes node check by using kubectl get nodes

region-of-instanceID:  region of the instanceID, this you can get the by using ibmcloud is in <instanceID>

zone-of-instanceID: Zone of the instanceID, this you can get the by using ibmcloud is in <instanceID>

Example :- ./apply-required-setup.sh

Build the driver

For building the driver docker and GO should be installed on the system

  1. On your local machine, install docker and Go.

  2. GO version should be >=1.16

  3. Set the GOPATH environment variable.

  4. Build the driver image

    Clone the repo or your forked repo

    $ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/kubernetes-sigs
    $ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/kubernetes-sigs/
    $ git clone https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/ibm-vpc-block-csi-driver.git
    $ cd ibm-vpc-block-csi-driver
    

    Build project and runs testcases

    $ make
    

    Build container image for the driver

    $ make buildimage
    

    Push image to registry

    Image should be pushed to any registry from which cluster worker nodes have access to pull

    You can push the driver image to docker.io registry or IBM public registry under your namespace.

    For pushing to IBM registry:

    Create an image pull secret in your cluster

    1. ibmcloud login to the target region

    2. Run - ibmcloud cr region-set global

    3. Run - ibmcloud cr login

    4. Make sure kubectl is configured to use the cluster

    5. Review and retrieve the following values for your image pull secret.

      <docker-username> - Enter the string: iamapikey.

      <docker-password> - Enter your IAM API key. For more information about IAM API keys, see Understanding API keys .

      <docker-email> - Enter the string: iamapikey.

    6. Run the following command to create the image pull secret in your cluster. Note that your secret must be named icr-io-secret

      
       kubectl create secret docker-registry icr-io-secret --docker-server=icr.io --docker-username=iamapikey --docker-password=-<iam-api-key> --docker-email=iamapikey -n kube-system
      
      

Deploy CSI driver on your cluster

IBM VPC endpoints which supports Gen2 is documented here

  • Install kustomize tool. The instructions are available here
  • Export cluster config i.e configuring kubectl command
  • Deploy IBM VPC Block CSI Driver on your cluster
    • You can use any overlays available under deploy/kubernetes/driver/kubernetes/overlays/ and edit the image tag if you want to use your own build image from this source code, although default overlays are already using released IBM VPC Block CSI Driver image

    • gcr.io/k8s-staging-cloud-provider-ibm/ibm-vpc-block-csi-driver:master image is always the latest image build using master branch code.

    • Example using stage overlay to update the image tag

      • Change iks-vpc-block-driver image name in deploy/kubernetes/driver/kubernetes/overlays/stage/controller-server-images.yaml
      • Change iks-vpc-block-driver image name in deploy/kubernetes/driver/kubernetes/overlays/stage/node-server-images.yaml
    • Deploy plugin

      • bash deploy/kubernetes/driver/kubernetes/deploy-vpc-block-driver.sh stage

Testing

  • Create storage classes
    • ls deploy/kubernetes/storageclass/ | xargs -I classfile kubectl apply -f deploy/kubernetes/storageclass/classfile
  • Create PVC
    • kubectl create -f examples/kubernetes/validPVC.yaml
  • Create POD with volume
    • kubectl create -f examples/kubernetes/validPOD.yaml

Delete CSI driver from your cluster

  • Delete plugin
    • bash deploy/kubernetes/driver/kubernetes/delete-vpc-csi-driver.sh stage
