Abstract
Dynamic storage provisioning for nested clusters is disclosed. A hosted cluster (HC) storage provisioner, executing in a hosted cluster that is hosted by an infrastructure cluster (IC), receives a request to dynamically provision a hosted cluster (HC) persistent volume object that is coupled to a physical storage. The HC storage provisioner causes an IC control plane executing on the IC to generate IC volume metadata that is backed by a storage volume on the physical storage. The HC storage provisioner determines that the IC volume metadata has been generated. The HC storage provisioner creates HC volume metadata on the hosted cluster that is linked to the IC volume metadata, the HC volume metadata comprising an HC persistent volume object that represents a persistent volume for use by the hosted cluster that is backed, via the IC volume metadata, by the physical storage.
