Andrew Pruski digs into a problem:
In a nutshell, the issue is that the attachdetach-controller in Kubernetes won’t detach storage from an offline node until that node is either brought back online or is removed from the cluster. What this means is that a pod spinning up on a new node that requires that storage can’t come online.
Aka, if you’re running SQL Server in Kubernetes and a node fails, SQL won’t be able to come back online until someone manually brings the node online or deletes the node.
Not great tbh, and it’s been a blocker for my PoC testing.
However, there are ways around this…one of them is by a product called Portworx which I’m going to demo here.
After a short disclaimer, there’s plenty of good content.
