I have a deployment configuration as follows:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
--- REMOVED FOR BREVITY ---
      volumes:
      - gcePersistentDisk: {fsType: pd-ssd, pdName: devtasker-disk}
        name: devtasker-disk
      - gcePersistentDisk: {fsType: pd-ssd, pdName: devtasker-pg}
        name: devtasker-pg

This works fine, however it requires the persistent volumes to be created manually and then the deployment can take place.

I saw in Kubernetes 1.4 they have released "Dyanmic Provisioning & Storage Classes".

I have added a storage class as follows:

kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1beta1
metadata:
  name: ssd-storage
provisioner: kubernetes.io/gce-pd
parameters:
  type: pd-ssd

I now want to add a PVC to my deployment configuration file mentioned above. The standard PVC for the above storage class goes like this:

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  annotations: {volume.beta.kubernetes.io/storage-class: ssd-storage}
  name: claim1
spec:
  accessModes: [ReadWriteOnce]
  resources:
    requests: {storage: 30Gi}

Im struggling to get the above PVC into my deployment configuration mentioned in the first code block above.

I tried this:

      volumes:
      - gcePersistentDisk: {fsType: pd-ssd, pdName: devtasker-disk}
        name: devtasker-disk
      - gcePersistentDisk: {fsType: pd-ssd, pdName: devtasker-pg}
        name: devtasker-pg
      - persistentVolumeClaim: {claimName: ssd-storage, annotations: {volume.beta.kubernetes.io/storage-class: ssd-storage}}
        name: ssd-storage

.. but I haven't had any luck with many different combinations. I get the following:

error validating "kubernetes/deployment.yml": error validating data: found invalid field annotations for v1.PersistentVolumeClaimVolumeSource; if you choose to ignore these errors, turn validation off with --validate=false

Could anyone please point me in the right direction here?
