Setting GCP FileStorage and Kubernetes - kubernetes

Question

How do you mount the FileStorage to the Kubernetes pod in GCP
I did follow the documentation but the pods still pending
I did:
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
name: <some name>
spec:
capacity:
storage: 50Gi
accessModes:
- ReadWriteMany
nfs:
path: /
server: <filestorage_ip with this format xx.xxx.xxx.xx>
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
name: <some name>
namespace: <some name>
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteMany
storageClassName: ""
resources:
requests:
storage: 50Gi
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
namespace: <some name>
name: <some name>
labels:
app: <some name>
spec:
replicas: 2
selector:
matchLabels:
app: <some name>
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: <some name>
spec:
containers:
- name: <some name>
image: gcr.io/somepath/<some name>#sha256:<some hash>
ports:
- containerPort: 80
volumeMounts:
- name: <some name>
mountPath: /var/www/html
imagePullPolicy: Always
restartPolicy: Always
volumes:
- name: <some name>
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: <some name>
readOnly: false
Running kubectl -n <some name> describe pods returns:

Output: mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting <filestorage_ip with this format xx.xxx.xxx.xx>:/
It seems that the pod can't access de the IP of the FileStorage service
In the documentation says that needs to be on the same VPC
"Authorized network *
Filestore instances can only be accessed from machines on an authorized VPC network. Select the network from which you need access."
But I don't know how to add the Kubernetes cluster to the VPC
Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I found the problem
The PersistentVolume can't be mount in path: /
It needs the "Fileshare properties" field that makes you fill in on the creation
Now works with multiple pods!
