vSphere storage policy support for dynamic volume provisioning
Till now, vSphere cloud provider provides support to configure persistent volume with VSAN storage capabilities - kubernetes#42974. Right now this only works with VSAN.
Also there might be other use cases:
- The user might need a way to configure a policy on other datastores like VMFS, NFS etc.
- Use Storage IO control, VMCrypt policies for a persistent disk.
We can achieve about 2 use cases by using existing storage policies which are already created on vCenter using the Storage Policy Based Management service. The user will specify the SPBM policy ID as part of dynamic provisioning
- resultant persistent volume will have the policy configured with it.
- The persistent volume will be created on the compatible datastore that satisfies the storage policy requirements.
- If there are multiple compatible datastores, the datastore with the max free space would be chosen by default.
- If the user specifies the datastore along with the storage policy ID, the volume will created on this datastore if its compatible. In case if the user specified datastore is incompatible, it would error out the reasons for incompatibility to the user.
- Also, the user will be able to see the associations of persistent volume object with the policy on the vCenter once the volume is attached to the node.
For instance in the below example, the volume will created on a compatible datastore with max free space that satisfies the "Gold" storage policy requirements.
```
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1beta1
metadata:
name: fast
provisioner: kubernetes.io/vsphere-volume
parameters:
diskformat: zeroedthick
storagepolicyName: Gold
```
For instance in the below example, the vSphere CP checks if "VSANDatastore" is compatible with "Gold" storage policy requirements. If yes, volume will be provisioned on "VSANDatastore" else it will error that "VSANDatastore" is not compatible with the exact reason for failure.
```
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1beta1
metadata:
name: fast
provisioner: kubernetes.io/vsphere-volume
parameters:
diskformat: zeroedthick
storagepolicyName: Gold
datastore: VSANDatastore
```
As a part of this change, 4 commits have been added to this PR.
1. Vendor changes for vmware/govmomi
2. Changes to the VsphereVirtualDiskVolumeSource in the Kubernetes API. Added 2 additional fields StoragePolicyName, StoragePolicyID
3. Swagger and Open spec API changes.
4. vSphere Cloud Provider changes to implement the storage policy support.
**Release note**:
```release-note

Kubernetes
Kubernetes is an open source system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts, providing basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications.
Kubernetes builds upon a decade and a half of experience at Google running production workloads at scale using a system called Borg, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.
Kubernetes is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). If you are a company that wants to help shape the evolution of technologies that are container-packaged, dynamically-scheduled and microservices-oriented, consider joining the CNCF. For details about who's involved and how Kubernetes plays a role, read the CNCF announcement.
To start using Kubernetes
See our documentation on kubernetes.io.
Try our interactive tutorial.
Take a free course on Scalable Microservices with Kubernetes.
To start developing Kubernetes
The community repository hosts all information about building Kubernetes from source, how to contribute code and documentation, who to contact about what, etc.
If you want to build Kubernetes right away there are two options:
You have a working Go environment.
$ go get -d k8s.io/kubernetes
$ cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/kubernetes
$ make
You have a working Docker environment.
$ git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes
$ cd kubernetes
$ make quick-release
If you are less impatient, head over to the developer's documentation.
Support
If you need support, start with the troubleshooting guide and work your way through the process that we've outlined.
That said, if you have questions, reach out to us one way or another.
