Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G

Claim 10:
11. A non-transitory machine readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by a processing resource of a computer system, cause the processing resource to:
launch a discovery pod on a node of a plurality of nodes of a container cluster, wherein the discovery pod is a privileged pod with an ability to query an operating system of the node regarding hardware associated with the node;
discover local block devices associated with the node by the discovery pod;
provide a user an opportunity to review and edit a list of the discovered local block devices prior to creating a raw block persistent volume (PV) for each of the discovered local block devices or a subset thereof, wherein the list of the discovered local block devices is accessible to the user via a node template in a form of a human-readable data-serialization language; and
cause a scheduler associated with the container cluster, as part of determining by the scheduler on which of the plurality of nodes to launch a storage system pod based at least in part on their respective ability to satisfy storage characteristics specified by respective pod requests, to take into consideration the discovered local block devices by creating the raw block PV for each of the discovered local block devices or the subset thereof.
