Mount external volumes

This topic explains how to mount additional volumes to a workload migrated with Migrate to Containers. You might want to do this when your workload depends on an external volume that is not copied to a Persistent Volume.

To add external volumes to a Migrate to Containers workload:

Add the volume to the StatefulSet in spec.containers.volumeMounts. See Kubernetes Volumes for more information.
Mount the volume in the container at the mount point you would like. This will vary depending on the container's operating system.

The example below mounts the volume emptydir to /tmp.
