Both `rbd` and `cephfs` directories contain `plugin-deploy.sh` and `plugin-teardown.sh` helper scripts. You can use those to help you deploy/tear down RBACs, sidecar containers and the plugin in one go. By default, they look for the YAML manifests in `../../deploy/{rbd,cephfs}/kubernetes`. You can override this path by running `$ ./plugin-deploy.sh /path/to/my/manifests`.
Once the plugin is successfuly deployed, you'll need to customize `storageclass.yaml` and `secret.yaml` manifests to reflect your Ceph cluster setup. Please consult the documentation for info about available parameters.
After configuring the secrets, monitors, etc. you can deploy a testing Pod mounting a RBD image / CephFS volume:
Before continuing, make sure you enabled the required feature gate `VolumeSnapshotDataSource=true` in your Kubernetes cluster.
In the `examples/rbd` directory you will find two files related to snapshots: [snapshotclass.yaml](./rbd/snapshotclass.yaml) and [snapshot.yaml](./rbd/snapshot.yaml).
Once you created your RBD volume, you'll need to customize at least `snapshotclass.yaml` and make sure the `monitors` and `pool` parameters match your Ceph cluster setup. If you followed the documentation to create the rbdplugin, you shouldn't have to edit any other file.
After configuring everything you needed, deploy the snapshot class:
```bash
kubectl create -f snapshotclass.yaml
```
Verify that the snapshot class was created:
```console
$ kubectl get volumesnapshotclass
NAME AGE
csi-rbdplugin-snapclass 4s
```
Create a snapshot from the existing PVC:
```bash
kubectl create -f snapshot.yaml
```
To verify if your volume snapshot has successfully been created, run the following:
```console
$ kubectl get volumesnapshot
NAME AGE
rbd-pvc-snapshot 6s
```
To check the status of the snapshot, run the following:
