<p>I have deployed a pod on a Kubernetes Cluster on GCP. I have used a Persistent volume using a PVC as the volume mount.
I need to input data(.doc files) residing in Google Cloud Storage buckets into the the pod's data path.</p>

<p>How do I mount this external storage or injest the data into the pod?</p>

<p>And I require this this to be a live connection or for the injestion to happen at regular intervals.</p>

<p>I found a way to mount google cloud storage buckets into Kubernetes-
GCS Fuse has to be built into the image and then the cloud storage buckets can be mounted as directories. I referred to these links to implement this-</p>
