Storage Classes

Overview

This topic describes the steps to create a new storage class using the Cloud Management Platform (CMP). 

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.

Create a Storage Class

To create storage class:

1. Click on the Kubernetes cluster and navigate to Storage class > Actions > Enter a Name for the storage class.
2. Click Save.
