Red Hat build of MicroShift

About volume snapshots

You can use volume snapshots with logical volume manager (LVM) thin volumes to help protect against data loss from applications running in a MicroShift node. MicroShift only supports the logical volume manager storage (LVMS) Container Storage Interface (CSI) provider.

LVMS only supports the volumeBindingMode of the storage class being set to WaitForFirstConsumer. This setting means the storage volume is not provisioned until a pod is ready to mount it.

Example workload that deploys a single pod and PVC
