Storage Classes

Overview

---

This topic describes the steps to create a new storage class using the HyperCloud™ Platform (HCP). 

A StorageClass provides a way for administrators to describe the “classes” of storage they offer. Different classes might map to quality-of-service levels, or to backup policies, or to arbitrary policies determined by the cluster administrators. Kubernetes itself is unopinionated about what classes represent. This concept is sometimes called “profiles” in other storage systems.

 

Prerequisites: Before you begin, ensure that:

• Kubernetes Cluster is pre-deployed and the status is running

• You are entitled to the Kubernetes Cluster

• At least one namespace is available.
