Kubernetes is an open source project for automating deployment, operations, and scaling of containerized applications that came out of Google in June 2014. The community around Kubernetes has since exploded and is being adopted as one of the leading container deployment solutions.

A problem many run into with using containerized applications is what to do with their data. Data written inside of a container is ephemeral and only exist for the lifetime of the container it’s written in. To solve this problem, Kubernetes offers a PersistentVolume subsystem that abstracts the details of how storage is provided from how it is consumed.

The Kubernetes PersistentVolume API provides several plugins for integrating your storage into Kubernetes for containers to consume. In this post, we’ll focus on how to use the NFS plugin with ONTAP. More specifically, we will use a slightly modified version of the NFS example in the Kubernetes source code.

When I’m working on a new project, I often find myself wanting to setup a subdomain (e.g. http://myproject.dev) in my local environment to use while doing development. If you’re using XAMPP (or standalone Apache), this is actually a pretty easy thing to do. These instructions should work in both Windows and Linux environments. I’ll attempt to make notes where things differ. Step 1 Setting up subdomains requires using a VirtualHost in Apache.
