Add a new StorageClass

Storageclass templates vary as per requirements and cloud provider specifications, this guide will help in adding and using a new storageclass in Hyperlegder Bevel.

Steps:

1. Add the storageclass provisioner as per cloud provider specifications, under platforms/shared/charts/bevel-storageclass/templates/_helpers.tpl.

   {{- define "provisioner" -}}
   {{- if eq .Values.global.cluster.provider "aws" }}
   provisioner: kubernetes.io/aws-ebs
   {{- else if eq .Values.global.cluster.provider "gcp" }}
   provisioner: pd.csi.storage.gke.io
   {{- else if eq .Values.global.cluster.provider "minikube" }}
   provisioner: k8s.io/minikube-hostpath
   {{- else if eq .Values.global.cluster.provider "azure" }}
   provisioner: disk.csi.azure.com
   {{- end -}}
   {{- end -}}
   

   For example, storageclass for cloud_provider_x with required provisioner_x should be added as

   ...
   {{- else if eq .Values.global.cluster.provider "cloud_provider_x" }}
   provisioner: provisioner_x
   ...
   

2. Update the cloud_provider enum under platforms/network-schema.json file with the new cloud provider name. For example,

   "cloud_provider": {
     "type": "string",
     "enum": [
       "aws",
       "aws-baremetal",
       "azure",
       "gcp",
       "minikube",
       "cloud_provider_x"
       ]}
   

3. Use the cloud provider in your network configuration file cloud_provider field under organization section.
