same pvc worked fine on "GKE" (Google Kubernetes Engine) but failing in my local cluster using microk8s

Answer 1

Did you create any PV in your cluster?

PV and Storage classes on local clusters should be done manually by cluster admin.

Check out Kubernetes documentation for the details:

1. A cluster administrator creates a PersistentVolume that is backed by physical storage. The administrator does not associate the volume with any Pod.

2. A cluster user creates a PersistentVolumeClaim, which gets automatically bound to a suitable PersistentVolume.

3. The user creates a Pod that uses the PersistentVolumeClaim as storage.
