kubernetes dynamic pv with aws is in pending

Question

I am creating redis-cluster on kube with aws-gp2 persistent volume. I was using  redis-cluster.yml   
 Link:    
  
I have created Storage Class according to this   , for dynamic persistence volume creation.  
  
This is my StorageClass definition

```
    kind: StorageClass
    apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
    metadata:
      name: aws-gp2
    provisioner: kubernetes.io/aws-ebs
    parameters:
      type: gp2
      zones: us-west-2a, us-west-2b, us-west-2c
      fsType: ext4
    reclaimPolicy: Retain
    allowVolumeExpansion: true
```

When I try to create cluster volume creation stuck at **pending** state, after checking logs found this

```
$ kubectl -n staging describe pvc data-redis-cluster-0
Name:          data-redis-cluster-0

someone point out what is wrong here ?

Answer

As the message indicates no storage class exists.  
 _no persistent volumes available for this claim and no storage class is set_  
  
What is Pod configuration for storage class?

I am using StatefulSet and this is the volumeClaimTemplates from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sanderploegsma/redis-cluster/master/redis-cluster.yml

```
volumeClaimTemplates:
  - metadata:
      name: data
      labels:
        name: redis-cluster
    spec:
      accessModes: [ "ReadWriteOnce" ]
      resources:
        requests:
          storage: 100Mi
```

Answer

after adding **storageClassName: aws-gp2** to volumeClaimTemplates, everything resolved

```
      volumeClaimTemplates:
      - metadata:
          namespace: staging
          name: data
          labels:
            name: redis-cluster
        spec:
          accessModes: [ "ReadWriteOnce" ]
          storageClassName: aws-gp2
          resources:
            requests:
              storage: 100Mi
```
