jpeeler pmorie	Configure a Pod to Use a Projected Volume for Storage	templates/task	70

{{% capture overview %}} This page shows how to use a projected volume to mount several existing volume sources into the same directory. Currently, secret, configMap, downwardAPI, and serviceAccountToken volumes can be projected.

{{< note >}} serviceAccountToken is not a volume type. {{< /note >}} {{% /capture %}}

Configure a projected volume for a pod

In this exercise, you create username and password Secrets from local files. You then create a Pod that runs one Container, using a projected Volume to mount the Secrets into the same shared directory.

Here is the configuration file for the Pod:

{{< codenew file="pods/storage/projected.yaml" >}}

1. Create the Secrets:

    # Create files containing the username and password:
       echo -n "admin" > ./username.txt
       echo -n "1f2d1e2e67df" > ./password.txt

    # Package these files into secrets:
       kubectl create secret generic user --from-file=./username.txt
       kubectl create secret generic pass --from-file=./password.txt

1. Create the Pod:

       kubectl create -f https://k8s.io/examples/pods/storage/projected.yaml

1. Verify that the Pod's Container is running, and then watch for changes to the Pod:

       kubectl get --watch pod test-projected-volume

The output looks like this:

   NAME                    READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
   test-projected-volume   1/1       Running   0          14s

1. In another terminal, get a shell to the running Container:

       kubectl exec -it test-projected-volume -- /bin/sh

1. In your shell, verify that the projected-volume directory contains your projected sources:

       ls /projected-volume/
