Introduction to Kubernetes and persistent storage - 0:00
A deep dive into NFS storage using a Synology NAS as a target for your Kubernetes workloads. Using an open-source NFS provisioner, we can attach to an NFS share on our NAS and then use this as a storage class in our K8s cluster that automatically provisions storage when we spin up pods.
