In this and the next lesson, we'll use StorageClasses to dynamically provision volumes on external systems. These lessons will only work on Regional GKE clusters. Refer to the Getting Kubernetes chapter on how to create a cluster on GKE. Every cloud and storage system has its own CSI plugin and configuration options; we can’t create examples for them all. Don’t be upset if you don’t have a Regional GKE cluster; you’ll still learn a lot by reading through the demos.
