SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Kubernetes storage management is error-prone and time-consuming when provisioning PVCs, PVs, and storage classes across namespaces. This skill automates consistent storage operations, reduces misconfigurations, and speeds up provisioning and audits.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provision and validate StorageClass existence before PVC creation.
  • List, describe, and troubleshoot PVCs and PVs.
  • Manage and review storage-related policies, volumes, and snapshots.
  • Use Case: Allocate storage for a new app, expand a PVC, and verify data persistence across pods with minimal manual steps.

Quick Start

Use the k8s-storage skill to provision a PVC in a given namespace using the standard storage class. For example, request a 10Gi PVC in the default namespace, then verify the PVC and PV status with get_pvcs() and describe_pvc(name, namespace).

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Kubernetes storage provisioning for a new deployment?

Automate Kubernetes storage provisioning by validating storage class existence and applying PVCs across namespaces. This reduces manual steps, checks configurations before creation, and verifies data persistence across pods.

Can I expand a PVC and verify the new volume size in Kubernetes?

Yes, you can expand a PVC and verify the new volume size. The skill manages volume expansion and validates the updated PVC and PV status using describe and list operations across namespaces.

Why are my Kubernetes PVCs stuck in a pending state across namespaces?

Kubernetes PVCs get stuck in pending state due to missing storage classes or binding errors. You can troubleshoot by inspecting PVC descriptions and listing PVs to identify provisioning failures.

Does kubectl work with storage class validation before PVC creation?

Yes, kubectl validates storage class existence before PVC creation. The skill checks whether the specified storage class exists to prevent misconfigurations during deployment provisioning.

What is the best way to audit Kubernetes storage policies across multiple namespaces?

Auditing Kubernetes storage policies across namespaces involves listing and describing PVCs and PVs. This approach reveals storage usage, binding statuses, and policy configurations to ensure consistency.

Are there limitations when managing Kubernetes volume snapshots with this approach?

Managing Kubernetes volume snapshots requires existing storage class support and valid PV bindings. Limitations include dependencies on snapshot-compatible storage classes and the need for safe apply operations to avoid data loss.
