Adding a volume component

You can use a volume component to share files among container components and collaborate with other teams during the development process. Volumes mounted in a container require a volume component with the same name. Volume components can be shared across container components.

Prerequisites

• Adding schema version

• Adding a name

• Adding components

Procedure

1. Add a volume component and specify the size of it.

   Minimal volume example

   devfile.yaml

   schemaVersion: 2.2.0 metadata:  name: mydevfile components:  - name: mydevfile  container:  image: golang  memoryLimit: 512Mi  mountSources: true  command: ['sleep', 'infinity']  volumeMounts:  - name: cache  path: /.cache  - name: cache  volume:  size: 2Gi 

2. If you do not want your volume component to persist across restarts, specify it as ephemeral.

   Ephemeral volume example

   devfile.yaml

   schemaVersion: 2.2.0 metadata:  name: mydevfile components:  - name: mydevfile  volume:  ephemeral: true  size: 200G
