Abstract
Examples described herein include automated discovery of hardware resources of nodes of a container cluster to facilitate pod scheduling. According to an example, discovery pods are launched on respective nodes of the container cluster. The discovery pods are privileged pods with an ability to query respective operating systems of respective nodes regarding hardware associated with the respective nodes. Information regarding local block devices associated with the respective nodes are discovered by the discovery pods running thereon. Scheduling of storage system pods on nodes of the container cluster that satisfy storage characteristics specified by respective pod requests are facilitated by creating a raw block persistent volume (PV) for each of the discovered local block devices or a subset thereof.
