To reserve CPU, RAM and GPU resources on Icekube Kubernetes cluster at RI.SE we need to fist edit the three parameters in the file values_icekube.yaml, the complete path of the file is repository->.helm->values_icekube.yaml

Step: Reserve Volume

Now, we need to state PVC size, which refers to PersistentVolumeClaim. It is an external storage which is attached to the pod, where we can store the data. We have used following mount points for the PVC, mountPath: /home/vscode/workspace and mountPath: /home/vscode/workspace/data

You need to save all your data in these mount points. So, in case you uninstall your existing pod then your PVC (storage) stays intact and you can reconnect to it when you install your setup again with the same unique name you have used.

In the screenshot below, we have configured 100 GB for PVC storage.
