== Global dataset storage for large, static datasets ==

The first cluster node exports an NFS filesystem on a large NVMe-Raid, which is reasonably fast and can be used as a global dataset storage. It can be mounted into a pod as follows:

<syntaxhighlight lang="yaml">
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: your-username-test-global-storage
spec:
  containers:
  - name: your-username-test-global-storage

    # we use a small ubuntu base to access the PVC
    image: ubuntu:18.04
    # make sure that we have some time until the container quits by itself
    command: ['sleep', '6h']

    volumeMounts:
    # Path to mount the NFS volume to
    - mountPath: "/mnt/datasets"
      name: datasets-nfs
      # NFS is exported read-only
      readOnly: true

  volumes:
    # Volume which mounts the NFS server exported to the cluster by ccu-node1
    - name: datasets-nfs
      nfs:
        server: ccu-node1
        path: /raid/datasets
</syntaxhighlight>
