Kubernetes With Object Storage (EOS)

i) Create Object Storage and Kubernetes cluster through my account dashboard.

ii) Check the cluster nodes using kubectl config.

iii) Configure/Install the dependencies of Datashim such as CRDs, SA, etc. using the following command:

kubectl create ns

    kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datashim-io/datashim/master/release-tools/manifests/dlf.yaml

kubectl wait --for=condition=ready pods -l app.kubernetes.io/name=datashim -n dlf

kubectl label namespace default monitor-pods-datasets=enabled

iv) Create a new dataset using the below configuration:

    cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
    apiVersion: datashim.io/v1alpha1
    kind: Dataset
    metadata:
    name: example-dataset
    spec:
    local:
        type: "COS"
        accessKeyID: "{EOS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}"
        secretAccessKey: "{EOS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}"
        endpoint: "{EOS_URL}"
        bucket: "{BUCKET_NAME}"
        readonly: "true" #OPTIONAL, default is false  
        region: "" #OPTIONAL
    EOF

Provide the credentials, URL, and Region such as Delhi

If everything works okay, you should see a PVC and a ConfigMap named example-dataset which you can mount in your pods. As an easier way to use the Dataset in your pod, you can instead label the pod as follows:

Once verified, you can create a new pod/deployment connected with EOS using the following YAML configuration:

cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: nginx
  labels:
    dataset.0.id: "example-dataset"
    dataset.0.useas: "mount"
spec:
  containers:
    - name: nginx
      image: nginx
EOF

As a convention, the Dataset will be mounted in /mnt/datasets/example-dataset.

We recommend using secrets to pass your Object Storage Service credentials to Datashim. For more information, click here.
