Configure External Persistent Storage

This section explains how to configure an external persistent storage system for the KubeSphere cluster in a production environment. A persistent storage system is used to create volumes for storing application data in KubeSphere. If an external persistent storage system is not configured, KubeSphere will default to using the local storage system of the cluster nodes. If your KubeSphere cluster does not require external persistent storage, you can skip this section.

Note

The configuration of external persistent storage for KubeSphere is only supported in scenarios where Kubernetes and KubeSphere are installed together. If you install KubeSphere on an existing Kubernetes cluster, KubeSphere will use the existing persistent storage configuration of the Kubernetes cluster.
