I was trying to setup Cassandra cluster by kubernetes 1.3.4 new alpha feature - Petset. Following the yaml file posted here: http://blog.kubernetes.io/2016/07/thousand-instances-of-cassandra-using-kubernetes-pet-set.html

My kubernetes cluster is based on 1.3.4 on bare metal environment with 10 powerful physical machines. However, after I created the Petset, I can get nothing from kubectl get pv.

run kubectl get pvc, i get following:

NAME STATUS VOLUME CAPACITY ACCESSMODES AGE cass-volume-cassandra-0 Pending 4h cass-volume-cassandra-1 Pending 4h cass-volume-cassandra-2 Pending 4h

Reading the README here: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/b829d4d4ef68e64b9b7ae42b46877ee75bb2bfd9/examples/experimental/persistent-volume-provisioning/README.md

saying the persistent volume will be automatically created if the kubenetes is running on asw, gce or Cinder. Wondering any way I can create such persistent volume and pvc on bare metal environment?

Another question: as long as I run kubernetes cluster on a few EC2 machines in aws, above persistent volume from aws EBS will be automatically created with these clauses in yaml file? or I have to allocate EBS first?
