Azure AKS Cluster Storage Initialization Configuration#

Platform integration with Azure AKS and storage initialization configuration.

#Constraints and Limitations

The default azurefile file storage class may not support permission modifications after mounting, which may cause some applications like PostgreSQL and Jenkins to fail to run properly.

#Prerequisites

• If you have created an AKS cluster, import the Azure AKS cluster.

#Configuration Steps

1. Go to Platform Management and click Storage Management > Storage Classes in the left navigation.

2. Click the three dots next to the storage class named default or azurefile > Update Project.

   Note: After importing an AKS cluster, the following default storage classes are generated. default is recommended for block storage, and azurefile for file storage. See Default Storage Class Description.

3. Select the Project Assignment method as needed and click Update to assign default or azurefile storage classes to projects.

   Note: If the default storage classes don't meet requirements, create new storage classes following the above steps and modify parameters as needed. See Available Storage Class Parameters.
