In a simple Postgres Deployment, I wish to choose the volume dependent on the namespace. The aim is to use the same Deployment configuration file to create Postgres deployments in different namespaces (e.g. production/staging).
What ways are there to achieve this?
Below my configuration file, I basically want to make MAKE_THIS_DEPENDENT_ON_NAMESPACE
dependent on the environment (or namespace) this Deployment is used in.
kind: Deployment

name: postgres

mountPath: /var/lib/postgresql
volumes:
- name: postgres-persistent-storage
gcePersistentDisk:
pdName: MAKE_THIS_DEPENDENT_ON_NAMESPACE
You should try using a Persistent Volume Claim instead, PVCs are namespaced.
