To set up the MongoDB, you need three things: A StorageClass, a Headless Service, and a StatefulSet.
Create the storage class
The storage class tells Kubernetes what kind of storage to use for the database nodes. On Google Cloud Platform, your storage choices are SSDs and hard disks.
The configuration for the StorageClass looks like this:
This configuration creates a new StorageClass called “fast” that is backed by SSD volumes. The StatefulSet can now request a volume, and the StorageClass will automatically create it.
Deploy this StorageClass:
kubectl apply -f googlecloud_ssd.yaml
