Use HDD Storage with Data in Memory for Aerospike on Kubernetes

This example lets you store namespace data both in memory and on the persistent device. \For more information on setting up HDD storage with data-in-memory and other storage configurations, see the Aerospike documentation for namespace storage configuration.

To set this up, add the following storage-specific configuration to the Aerospike cluster's CR file.

  storage:
    filesystemVolumePolicy:
      cascadeDelete: false
      initMethod: deleteFiles
    volumes:
      - name: workdir
        aerospike:
          path: /opt/aerospike
        source:
          persistentVolume:
            storageClass: ssd
            volumeMode: Filesystem
            size: 1Gi
      - name: ns
        aerospike:
          path: /opt/aerospike/data
        source:
          persistentVolume:
            storageClass: ssd
            volumeMode: Filesystem
            size: 3Gi
      - name: aerospike-config-secret
        source:
          secret:
            secretName: aerospike-secret
        aerospike:
          path: /etc/aerospike/secret
  .
  .
  .
  aerospikeConfig:
    service:
      feature-key-file: /etc/aerospike/secret/features.conf
    security: {}
    namespace:
      - name: test
        memory-size: 3000000000
        replication-factor: 2
        storage-engine:
          type: device
          file:
            - /opt/aerospike/data/test.dat
          filesize: 2000000000
          data-in-memory: true

For the full CR file, see the example HDD storage with data-in-memory cluster CR.

This and other example CRs are stored in the main Aerospike Kubernetes Operator repository.

Save and exit the CR file, then use kubectl to apply the change.

kubectl apply -f aerospike-cluster.yaml
