OpenEBS: Create persistent storage in your Charmed Kubernetes cluster

I previously wrote a blog about using StorageOS as persistent storage solution for Kubernetes here. StorageOS is dependent on etcd. I was having difficulties getting etcd up again after a reboot. Since I wanted to get a storage solution working quickly and not focus too much on external dependencies so I decided to give OpenEBS a try. In this blog I'll describe a developer installation on Charmed Kubernetes (the environment described here). I used openebs-jiva-default as storage class. This is unsuitable for production scenario's. OpenEBS also provides cStor. Most of the development effort goes there. cStor however requires a mounted block device. I have not tried this yet in my environment.
