How to test RBD and CephFS plugins with Kubernetes 1.11

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 successfully 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:

kubectl create -f secret.yaml
kubectl create -f storageclass.yaml
kubectl create -f pvc.yaml
kubectl create -f pod.yaml

Other helper scripts:

• logs.sh output of the plugin
• exec-bash.sh logs into the plugin's container and runs bash

How to test RBD Snapshot feature

Before continuing, make sure you enabled the required feature gate in your Kubernetes cluster.

In the examples/rbd directory you will find four files related to snapshots: csi-snapshotter-rbac.yaml, csi-snapshotter.yaml, snapshotclass.yaml and 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. If you didn't, make sure every parameters in csi-snapshotter.yaml reflect your configuration.

After configuring everything you needed, deploy the csi-snapshotter:

kubectl create -f csi-snapshotter-rbac.yaml
kubectl create -f csi-snapshotter.yaml
kubectl create -f snapshotclass.yaml
kubectl create -f snapshot.yaml

To verify if your volume snapshot has successfully been created, run the following:

$ kubectl get volumesnapshotclass
NAME                      AGE
csi-rbdplugin-snapclass   4s
$ kubectl get volumesnapshot
NAME               AGE
rbd-pvc-snapshot   6s

To be sure everything is OK you can run rbd snap ls [your-pvc-name] inside one of your Ceph pod.
