Mount local SSD drive in container

8/2/2016

With GKE 117.0.0, local SSDs are supported with the --local-ssd-count option when creating clusters. Having tried this option I can see the additional SSD volume mounted in the nodes, but how can I access it from the containers?

I was looking for a corresponding value to the Volumes.emptyDir.medium attribute, or something similar, but I haven't found anything in the docs.

As described in Overview of Local SSD support you can access the local SSD using a hostPath volume.
