Creating pods

To configure a pod, do the following steps:

Create a manifest file (pod.yaml) with pod definition referencing the persistent volume claim (PVC). Following is an example of a pod definition for creating a nginx container by using a previously created PVC:

# cat pod.yaml

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: csi-scale-staticdemo-pod
  labels:
    app: nginx
spec:
  containers:
   - name: web-server
     image: nginx
     volumeMounts:
       - name: mypvc
         mountPath: /usr/share/nginx/html/scale
     ports:
     - containerPort: 80
  volumes:
   - name: mypvc
     persistentVolumeClaim:
       claimName: [pvc name]
       readOnly: false

Note: claimName is the PVC name to be used by pod for persistent storage. The readOnly flag can be set to true, in which case the pod mounts the PVC in the read-only mode.

Issue the following command to create the pod:
```
kubectl apply -f pod.yaml
```
