All the attempts to mount a shared volume on GKE Autopilot were unsuccessful

[Marvel_Tales]

I am trying to mount a shared persistent volume claim for jupyterhub pods on GKE with Autopolit while deploying jupyterhub and I am not successful so far.

Is this even possible? I am thinking may be GKE autopilot doesn’t allow this.

Do you know a tutorial where I can follow about this subject?

Thanks

There’s another thread about GKE autopilot here:

Experiences with GKE Autopilot?

Hi Everyone, We’ve been running happily on GKE with two nodes on our cluster (core/user) for the past few years. For other projects we’ve been playing with GKE autopilot and the savings have been significant. Has anyone provisioned their GKE hubs using autopilot? Any experiences? Thanks in advance! Isabel

Hi @manics thank you for your reply. I am able to deploy jupyterhub on gke autopilot. My problem is not being able to mount shared volume.

On Customizing User Storage — Zero to JupyterHub with Kubernetes documentation it is explained that “If you already have a PersistentVolume and PersistentVolumeClaim created outside of JupyterHub you can mount them inside the user pods”

I have created a jupyterhub-shared-volume as pvc but I can not mount it as shared storage.

There may be some limitations because of gke autopilot but I could not identify the problem.

When I try to spawn for a user the pv for claim-user stays in pending state.

Thanks
