Terraform Demo: Mount your EBS NVME
Goal
For C5 and M5 type instances, EBS volumes are exposed as NVMe block devices. The device names are /dev/nvme0n1, /dev/nvme1n1, and so on. The device name that you specify in a block device mapping are renamed using NVMe device naming convention (/dev/nvme[0-26]n1).
Here we offer a simple example to link your current volume name with this new naming
FAQ
- We created a volume with the name /dev/xdvf but my volume now mounts on /dev/nvme[0-26]n1
- My volume name /dev/nvme[0-26]n1 is not identical between instances
- How we can retrieve the volume name to format and mount this
- How we can manage the discrepqncy between old and new instances
Prerequisites
Ready to go
terraform plan
terraform apply
Step 1: The machine is created
Step 2: Cloud-init installs nvme-cli
Step 3: Cloud-init runs a script to retrieve the volume name with tag /dev/(sd[b-z]|xvd[b-z]) and creates a temporary symbolic link ( removed after reboot )
Step 4: Cloud-init runs a script to retrieve the UUID from the new symlink, formats, mounts and adds to fstab by UUID
Your environment is ready
