I would like to integrate the Azure NetApp files with my AKS cluster and I see, in order to have dynamic provisioning of Persistent Volumes, installing NetApp trident is mandatory. After the installation of the trident on my AKS cluster, how do I mount my NFS volume of NetApp files to my AKS cluster?

    Hi @AK

    You can connect an NSF Volume to the AKS Cluster if it's from an NFS Server in the same or Peered Virtual Network as the AKS Cluster. You can then setup a PersistentVolume and PersistentVolumeClaim in the AKS Cluster to mount the NFS Volume. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/azure-nfs-volume#connecting-aks-cluster-to-nfs-server

    Azure NetApp Files is similar, but you'll need to create a Azure NetApp Files in the same Resource Group and Region as the AKS Cluster, a dedicated Subnet in the same Virtual Network as the AKS Cluster for the Azure NetApp Files, then you can create a PersistentVolume and PersistentVolumeClaim with Kubectl. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/azure-netapp-files
