# Stellar on Kubernetes: initialization Google Cloud

For Stellar nodes on Google Cloud we use automatically provisioned SSDs.

Create a file `storage-ssd.yaml` with the following content:
```
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
  name: ssd
provisioner: kubernetes.io/gce-pd
allowVolumeExpansion: true
parameters:
  type: pd-ssd
  replication-type: none
```

Then create the storage class in your cluster by running:
```
kubectl create -f storage-ssd.yaml
```
