intend to have persistent file storage.

The OCI File Storage service provides a durable, scalable, distributed, and enterprise-grade network file system.

...

To enable the CSI volume plugin to create and manage File Storage resources, the appropriate IAM policies must be installedapplied by following these steps:

  1. Policy Apply policy to create and/or manage file systems, mount targets, and export paths:

Code Block
languagebash
ALLOW any-user to manage file-family in compartment <compartment-name> where request.principal.type = 'cluster'
  1. Policy Apply policy to use VNICs, private IPs, private DNS zones, and subnets:

Code Block
languagebash
ALLOW any-user to use virtual-network-family in compartment <compartment-name> where request.principal.type = 'cluster'

Update Default CSI Driver

When a pod attempts to access a persistent volume (PV) backed by a file system in the File Storage service, the attempt might can fail with a "Permission Denied" message . This is because since the volume is only accessible to processes running as root. As a result, a pod that is not running as root receives the "Permission Denied" message when attempting to access a directory or file in the mounted volume.

To resolve avoid getting the "Permission Denied” message, follow these steps:

  1. Obtain the CSIDriver configuration file by running the following command:

Code Block
kubectl get csiDriver fss.csi.oraclecloud.com -o yaml > fss_csi_driver.yaml
  1. Edit the fss_csi_driver.yaml file and change the CSIDriver object's spec.fsGroupPolicy attribute from ReadWriteOnceWithFSType to File. For example,, for example as below:

Code Block
kind: CSIDriver
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: "<timestamp>"
  name: fss.csi.oraclecloud.com
  resourceVersion: "<version>"
  uid: <identifier>
spec:
  attachRequired: false
  fsGroupPolicy: File
  podInfoOnMount: false
  requiresRepublish: false
  storageCapacity: false
  volumeLifecycleModes:
  - Persistent
  1. Delete the existing CSIDriver object by running the following command:

Code Block
kubectl delete csiDriver fss.csi.oraclecloud.com
  1. Create the new CSIDriver object from fss_csi_driver.yaml by running the following command:

Code Block
kubectl apply -f fss_csi_driver.yaml

For more information, please refer to the see Troubleshooting File Storage Service Provisioning of PVCs.

Provisioning of PVC

User You can use the File Storage service to provision persistent volume claims (PVCs) in two ways:

Dynamic Provisioning

These steps describe how to create a dynamically provisioned volume using OCI Volume plugin.

  1. Prepare a storageclass.yaml file with StorageClass manifest for OCI File Storage:

Code Block
languageyaml
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
  name: fss-dyn-storage
provisioner: fss.csi.oraclecloud.com
parameters:
  availabilityDomain: <availability_Domain>
  mountTargetSubnetOcid: <mount_target_subnet_ocid from terraform output>
  kmsKeyOcid: <kms_key_ocid from terraform output, omit if terraform output is empty>
Note

kmsKeyOcid property is optional and can be omitted if data is encrypted at rest using encryption keys managed by Oracle. Only specify if user managed encryption key is used, i.e., kms_key_ocid from terraform output isn't empty.

  1. Deploy the storage class

Code Block
languagebash
kubectl apply -f storageclass.yaml

For more information, please refer to the dynamic provisioning documentation.

Static Provisioning

These steps describe how

Static Provisioning

Follow these steps to create a PVC by creating a PV backed by the new file system and then create the PVC and binds the PVC to the PV backed by the File Storage service.:

  1. Prepare a pv.yaml file with PersistentVolume manifest for OCI File Storage with the following content:

Code Block
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
  name: fss-pv
spec:
  capacity:
    storage: 1Gi
  volumeMode: Filesystem
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteMany
  persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Delete
  csi:
    driver: fss.csi.oraclecloud.com
    volumeHandle: <filesystem_ocid from terraform output>:<mount_target_IP_address from terraform output>:<filesystem_mount_path from terraform output>
  1. Deploy the PersistentVolume by running the following command:

Code Block
kubectl apply -f pv.yaml
  1. Prepare a pvc.yaml file with PersistentVolumeClaim manifest for OCI File Storage with the following content:

Code Block
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: fss-pvc
spec:
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteMany
  storageClassName: ""
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 1Gi
  volumeName: fss-pv
  1. Deploy the PersistentVolumeClaim by running the following command:

Code Block
kubectl apply -f pvc.yaml -n uepe
  1. Verify that PVC is bound to the PV successfully successfully by running the following command:

Code Block
kubectl get pvc -n uepe

...

pv

The output below shows that a persistent volume claim is successfully bound to a persistent volume successfully.

Code Block
NAME     CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   RECLAIM POLICY   STATUS   CLAIM   CLAIM       STORAGECLASS   VOLUMEATTRIBUTESCLASS   REASON   AGE

oci-native-ingress-controller

Note

Note!

The cert-manager needs to be installed prior to oci-native-ingress-controller installation as since it refers to the cert-manager internally.

The simplest easiest way to install the cert-manager is via the cluster add-ons. From the console, browse to Containers > Clusters > Cluster details, scroll down to vertical menu, select Resources > Add-ons, select Manage add-ons to install and enable cert-manager.

...

  • A load balancer for each IngressClass resource where you have specified the OCI native ingress controller as the controller.

  • A load balancer backend set for each unique Kubernetes service name and port number combination that you include in routing rules in Ingress resources in the cluster.

  • A routing policy that reflect the rules defined in the ingress resource , that is used to route traffic to backend set.

  • A load balancer listener for each unique port that you include in routing rules in Ingress resources in the cluster.

To install OCI Native Ingress Controller, follow these steps:

  1. Create a config file named user-auth-config.yaml, containing credential information, in the following format:

Code Block
auth:
  region: <region-identifier>
  user: <user-ocid> from terraform output>
  user: <user_ocid configured in terraform.tfvars>
  fingerprint: <fingerprint><fingerprint configured in terraform.tfvars>
  tenancy: <tenancy-ocid>_ocid from terraform output>
  1. Create a Kubernetes secret resource named oci-config in the cluster by enteringrunning the following command:

Code Block
languagebash
kubectl create secret generic oci-config \
--from-file=config=user-auth-config.yaml \
--from-file=private-key=<private-key-file-path>.pem \
--namespace uepe
  1. Grant permission to the OCI Native Ingress Controller to access resources created by other OCI services, such as the Load Balancer service and the Certificates service . Hence, by installing these IAM policies must be installed.:

Code Block
Allow group <group-name> to manage load-balancers in compartment <compartment-name>
Allow group <group-name> to use virtual-network-family in compartment <compartment-name>
Allow group <group-name> to manage cabundles in compartment <compartment-name>
Allow group <group-name> to manage cabundle-associations in compartment <compartment-name>
Allow group <group-name> to manage leaf-certificates in compartment <compartment-name>
Allow group <group-name> to read leaf-certificate-bundles in compartment <compartment-name>
Allow group <group-name> to manage certificate-associations in compartment <compartment-name>
Allow group <group-name> to read certificate-authorities in compartment <compartment-name>
Allow group <group-name> to manage certificate-authority-associations in compartment <compartment-name>
Allow group <group-name> to read certificate-authority-bundles in compartment <compartment-name>
Allow group <group-name> to read cluster-family in compartment <compartment-name>

...

  1. Clone the OCI native ingress controller repository from GitHub by running the following command:

Code Block
git clone https://github.com/oracle/oci-native-ingress-controller
  1. In the local Git repository, navigate to the oci-native-ingress-controller directory and create a config file named oci-native-ingress-controller-values.yaml with the following content:

Code Block
compartment_id: <compartment_ocid from terraform output>
subnet_id: <loadbalancer_subnet_ocid from terraform output>
cluster_id: <cluster_ocid from terraform output>
authType: user
deploymentNamespace: uepe
  1. Perform helm install with Install the config file oci-native-ingress-controller-values.yaml by running the following command:

Code Block
helm install oci-native-ingress-controller helm/oci-native-ingress-controller -f oci-native-ingress-controller-values.yaml -n uepe
  1. Confirm that the OCI native ingress controller has been installed successfullyinstalled successfully by running the following command:

Code Block
kubectl logs <pod-names> -n uepe

The logs should look like thissimilar to:

Having When you have installed the OCI native ingress controller, these you must created the following Kubernetes resources need to be created in order to start using it.

  • IngressClassParameters

  • IngressClass

IngressClassParameters resource

Use the custom IngressClassParameters resource to specify the details of the OCI load balancer to you create for the OCI native ingress controller.

Define the resource in a .yaml file named ingress-class-params.yaml as in the example below:

Code Block
apiVersion: "ingress.oraclecloud.com/v1beta1"
kind: IngressClassParameters
metadata:
  name: native-ic-params

  compartmentId: "<ocid of compartment><compartment_ocid from terraform output>"
  subnetId: "<loadbalancer_subnet_ocid from terraform output>"
  loadBalancerName: "native-ic-lb-<your cluster name><cluster_name from terraform output>"
  isPrivate: false
  maxBandwidthMbps: 400
  minBandwidthMbps: 100

To create the resource, executerun the following command:

Code Block
kubectl create -f ingress-class-params.yaml

IngressClass resource

Use the IngressClass resource to associate an Ingress resource with the OCI native ingress controller and the IngressClassParameters resource.

Define the resource in a .yaml file named ingress-class.yaml as in the example below:

Code Block
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: IngressClass
metadata:
  name: native-ic-ingress-class
  annotations:
    ingressclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class: "true"

To create the resource, executerun the following command:

Code Block
kubectl create -f ingress-class.yaml

Kubernetes Add-ons

The Add the following general Kubernetes resources should be added:

external-dns

ExternalDNS is a Kubernetes add-on that configures public DNS servers with information about exposed Kubernetes services to make them discoverable.

To install ExternalDNS, follow these steps:

  1. Create a Kubernetes secret containing the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure user authentication details for that the ExternalDNS to can use when connecting to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure API to insert for inserting and update updating DNS records in the DNS zone. Create a credentials file named oci.yaml and populate with the following content:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    auth:
      region: <region-identifier> from terraform output>
      tenancy: <tenancy-ocid>_ocid from terraform output>
      user: <user-ocid>_ocid configured in terraform.tfvars>
      key: |
        -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
       <private-key>
        -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
      fingerprint: <fingerprint> <fingerprint configured in terraform.tfvars>
      # Omit if there is not a password for the key
      passphrase: <passphrase>
    compartment: <compartment-ocid>_ocid from terraform output>
  2. Create a Kubernetes secret named external-dns-config from the credentials file you just created .by running the following command:

Code Block
kubectl create secret generic external-dns-config --from-file=oci.yaml -n uepe
  1. Create a configuration file (for example, called external-dns-values.yaml), and specify the name of the Kubernetes secret you just created .as in the example below:

Code Block
oci:
  secretName: external-dns-config
provider: oci
policy: sync
domainFilters:
- <cluster_dns_zone_name from terraform output>
txtOwnerId: <cluster_dns_zone_ocid from terraform output>
  1. Add the bitnami helm repository by running the following command:

Code Block
helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
  1. Update the helm repository to get the latest software by running the following command:

Code Block
