Requirements
You need an NFS volume that can be accessed by your Kubernetes cluster. For example Cloud Filestore which Google’s managed NFS solution that provides access to clusters in the same gcloud project.
Prepare NFS
If you have an existing NFS service, you can use that. If you want a Google managed NFS service, create a Filestore instance and Kf will automaticlaly configure the cluster to use it.
Warning: You only need to create the NFS instance. Kf will create relevant Kubernetes objects, including PersistentVolume and PersistentVolumeClaims. Do not manually mount the volume.
