I’m following:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/kubernetes/how-to/add-volumes/
But both the pod I create and the pvc remain in pending state.
When I run kubectl describe pod elasticsearch-basic-0 (I’m following https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-elasticsearch-fluentd-and-kibana-efk-logging-stack-on-kubernetes tutorial as well to add elastic search) I get:
Events:

Normal NotTriggerScaleUp 3m56s (x11 over 14m) cluster-autoscaler pod didn't trigger scale-up:
Warning FailedScheduling 1s (x15 over 14m) default-scheduler 0/1 nodes are available: 1 pod has unbound immediate PersistentVolumeClaims.
According to the first tutorial DO should automatically create a block storage volume but this does not seem to be happening. Am I missing something? Thanks.

So the only way I was able to get this to work was to manually create a PersistentVolume:
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
name: elasticsearch-volume
labels:
type: local
spec:
storageClassName: manual
capacity:
storage: 100M
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
hostPath:
path: "/data/elasticsearch"
Any ideas why DO isn’t doing this automatically as suggested in the docs, perhaps my DO config is note correct because it ideally I would like to store my persistent data directly to DOs block storage.
In fact what is the difference between creating a manual storage vs using do-block-storage. Thanks.
