Amazon EBS CSI Driver configuration reference for Lokomotive

Introduction

The CSI Driver for Amazon EBS provides a CSI interface used by container orchestrators to manage the lifecycle of Amazon EBS volumes. It provides a storage class for AWS, backed by Amazon EBS volumes.

Prerequisites

A Lokomotive cluster accessible via kubectl deployed on Packet.

Configuration

To run a cluster with the CSI Driver component, enable_csi needs to be set to true in the cluster block of your lokocfg. The flag and the component should only be used for clusters deployed on AWS.

Sample config:

# aws-ebs-csi-driver.lokocfg
component "aws-ebs-csi-driver" {
    enable_default_storage_class = true
}

Attribute reference

Table of all the arguments accepted by the component.

Argument	Description	Default	Type	Required
`enable_default_storage_class`	Use the storage class provided by the component as the default storage class	true	bool	false

Applying

To apply the CSI Driver component, run the following command:

lokoctl component apply aws-ebs-csi-driver

By default, the CSI Driver pods run in the kube-system namespace.

Deleting

To delete the component, run the following command:

lokoctl component delete aws-ebs-csi-driver

WARNING: Before destroying a cluster or deleting the component, EBS volumes must be cleaned up manually. Failing to do so would result in EBS volumes being left behind.
