Before creating a Kubernetes pod, make sure that the Oracle SOA Suite Docker image is available on a node, or you can create an image pull secret so that the pod can pull the Docker image on the host where it gets created.

1. Create an image pull secret to pull image soasuite:release-version by the Kubernetes pod:

   kubectl create secret docker-registry image-secret -n soans --docker-server=your-registry.com --docker-username=xxxxxx --docker-password=xxxxxxx  --docker-email=my@company.com

2. Create a PersistentVolume and PersistentVolumeClaim (soadeploy-pv.yaml and soadeploy-pvc.yaml) with sample composites for build and deploy placed at /share/soa-deploy.
   1. Create a PersistentVolume with the sample provided (soadeploy-pv.yaml), which uses NFS (you can use hostPath or any other supported PV type):

      apiVersion: v1
      kind: PersistentVolume
      metadata:
        name: soadeploy-pv
      spec:
        storageClassName: soadeploy-storage-class
        capacity:
         storage: 10Gi
        accessModes:
          - ReadWriteMany
        # Valid values are Retain, Delete or Recycle
        persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain
        # hostPath:
        nfs:
          server: X.X.X.X
          path: "/share/soa-deploy"
      

   2. Apply the YAML:

      kubectl apply -f soadeploy-pv.yaml
      

   3. Create a PersistentVolumeClaim (soadeploy-pvc.yaml):

      kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
      apiVersion: v1
      metadata:
        name: soadeploy-pvc
        namespace: soans
      spec:
        storageClassName: soadeploy-storage-class
        accessModes:
          - ReadWriteMany
        resources:
          requests:
            storage: 10Gi      
      

   4. Apply the YAML:

      kubectl apply -f soadeploy-pvc.yaml

3. Create a composite deploy pod using soadeploy.yaml to mount the composites inside pod at /composites:

   apiVersion: v1
   kind: Pod
   metadata:
     labels:
       run: soadeploy
     name: soadeploy
     namespace: soans
   spec:
     imagePullSecrets:
     - name: image-secret
     containers:
     - image: soasuite:release-version
       name: soadeploy
       env:
       - name: M2_HOME
         value: /u01/oracle/oracle_common/modules/thirdparty/apache-maven_bundle/3.9.4.0.0/apache-maven-3.9.4
       command: ["/bin/bash", "-c", "echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$M2_HOME/bin' >> $HOME/.bashrc; sleep infinity"]
       imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
       volumeMounts:
       - name: mycomposite
         mountPath: /composites
     volumes:
     - name: mycomposite
       persistentVolumeClaim:
          claimName: soadeploy-pvc
   

4. Create the pod:

   kubectl apply -f soadeploy.yaml

5. Once the Kubernetes pod is deployed, exec into the pod to perform Maven/Ant based build and deploy:

   kubectl exec -it -n soans soadeploy -- bash
