<p>I have a persistent volume created locally in my Kubernetes cluster running in VULTR managed K8S.</p>
<p>When I then deploy multiple pods (for example a Webservice where one can upload images - deployed with multiple replicas) that use this persistent volume via a persistent volume claim, (mounted to a specific path in the pod via volumeMounts) -&gt;</p>
<p>How is it possible, when an image gets uploaded via that described Webservice, that runs in the described replicated pods, to make these uploads (uploaded on a specific pod of that service, that runs on a specific node), available to the other pods/nodes?</p>
<p>What happens is, that an image uploaded via the Webservice on pod-x gets saved in the volumeMounts path ONLY and that pod-x, and is not available on the others pods volumeMounts path.</p>
<p>As using Kubernetes in most cases assumed running an application in more then 1 pod/node, what am I missing out here?</p>
<p>PS I am not using a cloud providers storage, I applied the PV via mode „local“.</p>
<p>I also guess that this is not the issue. The issue must be on the PVC end of side as this is where the pods access that bound PV..</p>
<p>Maybe someone has experience with this topic.</p>

<p>Kubernetes does not replicate data across local volumes. You need to use shared storage like NFS or SMB.</p>
