    This document provides an overview of the KPLABS Course on Certified Kubernetes Administrator. It discusses key topics that will be covered in the course, including Docker volumes, volume types in Kubernetes, persistent volumes and persistent volume claims, static vs dynamic provisioning of persistent volumes, configmaps, and security contexts. The course modules will cover challenges of data storage in containers, ideal approaches for persistent data, pointers on volumes, how volumes can be shared across containers, and how to request and use volumes in Kubernetes. It also provides information on joining the KPLABS Discord community for technical support.

    Module 1: Overview of Docker Volumes

    1.1 Challenges with files in Container Writable Layer

    By default, all files created inside a container are stored on a writable container layer. This
    means that:

    The data doesn’t persist when that container no longer exists, and it can be difficult to get the
    data out of the container if another process needs it.

    Writing into a container’s writable layer requires a storage driver to manage the filesystem. The
    storage driver provides a union filesystem, using the Linux kernel.

    This extra abstraction reduces performance as compared to using data volumes, which write
    directly to the host filesystem.

    1.2 Ideal Approach for Persistent Data

    Docker has two options for containers to store files in the host machine, so that the files are
    persisted even after the container stops: volumes, and bind mounts.

    If you’re running Docker on Linux you can also use a tmpfs mount.
    1.3 Important Pointers to Remember:

    A given volume can be mounted into multiple containers simultaneously.

    When no running container is using a volume, the volume is still available to Docker and is not
    removed automatically.

    When you mount a volume, it may be named or anonymous. Anonymous volumes are not given
    an explicit name when they are first mounted into a container, so Docker gives them a random
    name that is guaranteed to be unique within a given Docker host.

    Module 2: Volume in Kubernetes


    On-disk files in a Container are ephemeral.

    When there are multiple containers that want to share the same data, it becomes a challenge.

    One of the benefits of Kubernetes is that it supports multiple types of volumes.


    Module 3: PersistentVolume and PersistentVolumeClaim

    9.1 PersistentVolume (PV)

    A PersistentVolume (PV) is a piece of storage in the cluster that has been provisioned by an
    administrator or dynamically provisioned using Storage Classes

    Every Volume which is created can be of a different types.

    This can be taken care of by the Storage Administrator / Ops Team

    9.2 PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC)

    A PersistentVolumeClaim is a request for the storage by a user.

    Within the claim, the user needs to specify the size of the volume along with access mode.

    Developer:

    I want a volume of size 10 GB which has a speed of Fast for my pod.


    9.3 High-Level Working Steps:

    ● Storage Administrator takes care of creating PV.


    ● Developer can raise a “Claim” (I want a specific type of PV).
    ● Reference that claim within the PodSpec file.

    Module 4: Static vs Dynamic Provisioning of PV

    There are two ways PVs may be provisioned: statically or dynamically.


    Module 5: ConfigMaps

    ConfigMaps allow you to decouple configuration artifacts from image content to keep
    containerized applications portable.

    Module 6: Security Contexts

    When you run a container, it runs with the UID 0 (Administrative Privilege)

    In-case of container breakouts, attacker can get root privileges to your entire system.
    We can run POD and container with limited privilege user instead of the ROOT user.
