NFS support

NFS 4.1 support for Azure Files is optimized for random access workloads with in-place data updates and provides full POSIX file system support. This page shows how to use NFS feature by Azure File CSI driver on Azure Kubernetes cluster.

Prerequisite

  • When using AKS managed CSI driver, make sure cluster Control plane identity(with name AKS Cluster Name) has Contributor permission on vnet resource group
  • [Optional] Create a Premium_LRS or Premium_ZRS Azure storage account with following configurations to support NFS share

    Premium_ZRS account type is only supported in limited region support

    • account kind: FileStorage
    • Require secure transfer for REST API operations(enable HTTPS traffic only): false
    • select virtual network of agent nodes in Firewalls and virtual networks
    • specify storageAccount in below storage class parameters

How to use NFS feature

  • Create an Azure File storage class

specify protocol: nfs in storage class parameters
for more details, refer to driver parameters

apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
kind: StorageClass
metadata:
  name: azurefile-csi-nfs
provisioner: file.csi.azure.com
parameters:
  protocol: nfs
  skuName: Premium_LRS  # available values: Premium_LRS, Premium_ZRS

run following commands to create a storage class:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes-sigs/azurefile-csi-driver/master/deploy/example/storageclass-azurefile-nfs.yaml
# set `storageAccount` in storageclass-azurefile-nfs.yaml
kubectl create -f storageclass-azurefile-nfs.yaml

Example#1

  • Create a deployment with NFS volume
kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes-sigs/azurefile-csi-driver/master/deploy/example/nfs/statefulset.yaml
  • enter pod to check
kubectl exec -it statefulset-azurefile-0 -- df -h

Example#2

  • Create a Wordpress application with NFS volume
helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
helm install --set persistence.storageClass="azurefile-csi-nfs" --set persistence.size=100Gi --generate-name bitnami/wordpress
