  1. In AWS, create an EFS file system.

    For more information on the steps to create an EFS file system, see Amazon EFS documentation. Specify the Kubernetes cluster Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and Security Group while creating a mount target for the file system. On the File Systems page, verify that the mount target shows the Life Cycle State as Available. Under File system access, you see the file system DNS name. Make a note of this DNS name.

    After successful creation of the EFS file system, note its File System ID, which can be used for creating EFS provisioner.

  2. Create the EFS provisioner and other associated resources. Specify all the connection setup values for the EFS file system in a manifest.yaml file and run the kubectl command to create the EFS provisioner.

    1. Download the sample manifest.yaml file and edit it according to your setup.

    2. In the configmap section, specify File System ID of the newly created EFS as the value of the file.system.id: variable and Availability Zone of the newly created EFS as the value of the aws.region: variables.

    3. In the Deployment section, specify DNS name of the newly created EFS as the value of the server: variable.

    4. Run the kubectl command to apply the settings in manifest.yaml.

      kubectl apply -f manifest.yaml

    5. Ensure that the EFS provisioner pod is in the running state using the kubectl command.

      kubectl get pods

  1. As RMS is running in a Docker container, separate external storage must be set up for required files and artifacts. For this, create EFS based PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) using the configuration files (YAML format).

    The sample YAML file berms-efs-persistent-volume-claims.yaml for creating storage class and PVCs is located at BE_HOME\cloud\kubernetes\AWS\rms. The berms-efs-persistent-volume-claims.yaml file set up the following PVC:

    PVC Name Description
    efs-webstudio Set up the PVC for storing TIBCO BusinessEvents project files.
    efs-security Set up the PVC for storing TIBCO BusinessEvents project ACL files, such as, CreditCardApplication.ac.
    efs-shared Set up the PVC for storing RMS artifacts after hot deployment, such as, rule template instances.
    efs-notify Set up the PVC for storing Email notification files, such as, message.stg.

    For more information about the Kubernetes object spec files, see Kubernetes documentation.

  2. Run the create command of kubectl utility using the YAML files to create PVCs on the EFS file system.

    For example, create PVCs using the sample files:

    kubectl create -f berms-efs-persistent-volume-claims.yaml

  3. Mount the EFS file system into the Kubernetes EC2 instance nodes.

    For more information on how to mount EFS file system on EC2 instance, refer AWS Documentation.

    After successful mounting, PVCs on EFS are available for uploading files.
