Pod has unbound immediate PersistentVolumeClaims

[tuv7041]

Hi, I'm trying your tutorial, and when applying either the replicaset or the daemonset, the pods get scheduled but they stay on "pending". kubectl describe pods counter-app-6pxrw (a pod in the replicaset) shows the following:

I get the same error for the daemonset.

Hi @tuv7041, do you have a StorageClass in your cluster? Please share output of kubectl get storageclass And where is your cluster hosted, I mean any cloud or minikube?

I have the same problem. kubectl get storageclass --all-namespaces No resources found

My K8S is on 3 VMs

I saw that that persistentvolumeclaims is created but its status is pending

kubectl get persistentvolumeclaims
NAME                STATUS    VOLUME   CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   STORAGECLASS   AGE
counter             Pending                                      efs            4h42m
counter-counter-0   Pending                                      efs            8m57s

Going in depth, i think the issue is storageclass.storage.k8s.io "efs" not found:

kubectl describe persistentvolumeclaims counter
Name:          counter
Namespace:     default
StorageClass:  efs
Status:        Pending
.....
Events:

  Warning  ProvisioningFailed  3m4s (x1122 over 4h43m)  persistentvolume-controller  storageclass.storage.k8s.io "efs" not found

Could you please add to your tutorial how to create properly the needed volume ?
