Question

is It possible to specify use a Storage optimize or IOPs in a StorageClass Kubernetes?

I can’t find anything in the docs about this.

this is a default definition of a DO SC

Name:            do-block-storage
IsDefaultClass:  Yes
Annotations:     kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration={"allowVolumeExpansion":true,"apiVersion":"storage.k8s.io/v1","kind":"StorageClass","metadata":{"annotations":{"storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class":"true"},"name":"do-block-storage"},"provisioner":"dobs.csi.digitalocean.com","reclaimPolicy":"Delete"}
,storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class=true
Provisioner:           dobs.csi.digitalocean.com
Parameters:            <none>
AllowVolumeExpansion:  True
MountOptions:          <none>
ReclaimPolicy:         Delete
VolumeBindingMode:     Immediate
Events:                <none>

Where can I find the different options to configure a Storage class in DO?

Maybe it is possible to set how many IOPS you want.

Hi there @kadaffy,

I believe that there is only one Block Storage Volume class as of the time being. This is why there are no configurable options.

For more information on the Block Storage Volumes you could take a look at this page here:

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
