Creating a Pod

Create a pod by configuring and applying the YAML file on the Kubernetes management node.

1. Create a raw-block-pod.yaml file on the master node.

   vi raw-block-pod.yaml

2. Press i to enter the insert mode and add the following content to the raw-block-pod.yaml file:

   --- 
   apiVersion: v1 
   kind: Pod 
   metadata: 
     name: pod-with-raw-block-volume 
   spec: 
     containers: 
     - name: fc-container 
       image: fedora:26 
       command: ["/bin/sh", "-c"] 
       args: ["tail -f /dev/null"] 
       volumeDevices: 
       - name: data 
         devicePath: /dev/xvda 
     volumes: 
     - name: data 
       persistentVolumeClaim: 
         claimName: raw-block-pvc

3. Press Esc to exit the insert mode. Type :wq! and press Enter to save the file and exit.
4. Use the YAML file to create a pod.

   kubectl apply -f raw-block-pod.yaml

5. Check whether the pod is successfully created.

   kubectl get pod
