Use Data on SSD With Aerospike on Kubernetes

The following storage configuration sets up the Aerospike cluster to store namespace data on a provisioned SSD storage device.

For more information on storing namespace data on SSD and other storage configurations, see the Aerospike documentation for namespace storage configuration.

To set this up, add the following storage-specific configuration to the Aerospike cluster's custom resource (CR) file.

  storage:
filesystemVolumePolicy:
initMethod: deleteFiles
cascadeDelete: true
blockVolumePolicy:
cascadeDelete: true
volumes:
- name: workdir
aerospike:
path: /opt/aerospike
source:
persistentVolume:
storageClass: ssd
volumeMode: Filesystem
size: 1Gi
- name: ns
aerospike:
path: /test/dev/xvdf
source:
persistentVolume:
storageClass: ssd
volumeMode: Block
size: 5Gi
- name: aerospike-config-secret
source:
secret:
secretName: aerospike-secret
aerospike:
path: /etc/aerospike/secret

.

.
aerospikeConfig:
service:
feature-key-file: /etc/aerospike/secret/features.conf
security: {}
namespaces:
- name: test
replication-factor: 2
storage-engine:
type: device
devices:
- /test/dev/xvdf

For the full CR file, see the example SSD storage cluster CR.

This and other example CRs are in the main Aerospike Kubernetes Operator repository.

Save and exit the CR file, then use kubectl to apply the change.

kubectl apply -f aerospike-cluster.yaml
