I have one pod which requires a persistent disk. I have 1 pod running on us-central1-a and if that zone goes down I want to migrate to another zone without data loss to another zone (us-central1-*).
Is it possible to migrate a pod to another zone(where i know the disks exists) and use the regional disk for the pod in the new zone?
Approach 1
Using the below StorageClass my pod is always unable to claim any of these and my pod never starts. I had the understanding this regional disk with all zones configured would make the disk available to all zones in case of zone failure. I do not understand why I cannot claim any of these.
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: regionalpd-storageclass
provisioner: kubernetes.io/gce-pd
parameters:
type: pd-standard
replication-type: regional-pd
volumeBindingMode: WaitForFirstConsumer
allowedTopologies:

values:
- us-central1-a
- us-central1-b
- us-central1-c
- us-central1-f

Attempt 2
This storage config will allow me to run my pod in 2/4 zones with 1 zone being the initial zone and 1 being random. When I intentionally reduce and move out of my initial pods zone I will get the below error unless i'm lucky enough to have chosen the other randomly provisioned zone. Is this functionality intentional because Google assumes a very low chance of 2 zone failures? If one does fail wouldn't i have to provision another disk in another zone just in case?
