I am using a GCE cluster with 2 nodes, which I set up using kubeadm. Now I want to set up a persistent volume for postgresql to be deployed. I created a PVC and PV with a storageClass and also created a disk space with 10G in name postgres in the same project.Iam attaching the scripts for the PVC,PV,and Deployment below.Also I am using a service account that have the access to the disks.

1.Deployment.yml

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment 
metadata:
  name: kyc-postgres
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: postgres
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: postgres
    spec:
      containers:
      - image: "postgres:9.6.2"
        name: postgres
        ports:
        - containerPort: 5432
          name: postgres
        volumeMounts:
        - name: postgres-storage
          mountPath: /var/lib/postgresql/db-data
      volumes:
      - name: postgres-storage
        persistentVolumeClaim:
          claimName: kyc-postgres-pvc

2.PersistentVolumeClaim.yml

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: kyc-postgres-pvc
spec:
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 5Gi
  storageClassName: standard

3.PersistentVolume.yml

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume

  name: kyc-postgres-pv

    kubernetes.io/createdby: gce-pd-dynamic-provisioner
    pv.kubernetes.io/bound-by-controller: "yes"
    pv.kubernetes.io/provisioned-by: kubernetes.io/gce-pd

  persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Delete
  storageClassName: standard
  volumeMode: Filesystem

4. StorageClass.yml

apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
kind: StorageClass
metadata:
  name: standard
provisioner: kubernetes.io/gce-pd
parameters:
  type: pd-standard
  zone: us-central1-a

Now when I create these volumes and deployments, the pod is not getting started properly.Iam getting the following errors when I tired creating deployments.

Failed to get GCE GCECloudProvider with error <nil>

Also Iam attaching my output for kubectl get sc

NAME       PROVISIONER            RECLAIMPOLICY   VOLUMEBINDINGMODE   ALLOWVOLUMEEXPANSION   AGE
standard   kubernetes.io/gce-pd   Delete          Immediate           false                  10m

Can someone help me with this.Thanks in advance for your time – if I’ve missed out anything, over- or under-emphasised a specific point let me know in the comments.
