Configure storage

StackState Self-hosted v5.1.x

Storage defaults

StackState doesn't specify a specific storage class on its PVC's (persistent volume claims) by default, for cloud providers like EKS and AKS this means the default storage class will be used.

The defaults for those storage classes are typically to delete the PV (persistent volume) when the PVC is deleted. Note that even when running helm delete to remove a stackstate release the PVC's will remain present within the namespace and will be reused if a helm install is run in the same namespace with the same release name.

To remove the PVC's either remove them manually with kubectl delete pvc or delete the entire namespace.

Customize storage

You can customize the storageClass and size settings for different volumes in the Helm chart. The example values.yaml files provided in the GitHub Helm chart repo show how you can customize the size of volumes. The storageClass can be added in a similar fashion.

In the example below, all services that store data are switched to rely on the storageClass named standard and not use the default storageClass configured for the cluster:

values.yaml

elasticsearch:
  volumeClaimTemplate:
    storageClassName: "standard"
      resources:
        requests:
            # size of volume for each Elasticsearch pod
            storage: 250Gi

hbase:
  hdfs:
    datanode:
      persistence:
        storageClass: "standard"
        # size of volume for HDFS data nodes
        size: 250Gi

    namenode:
      persistence:
        storageClass: "standard"
        # size of volume for HDFS name nodes
        size: 20Gi


kafka:
  persistence:
    storageClass: "standard"
    # size of persistent volume for each Kafka pod
    size: 50Gi


zookeeper:
  persistence:
    storageClass: "standard"
    # size of persistent volume for each Zookeeper pod
    size: 50Gi
