There should be no need to create different storage classes for the different node types unless this is really what you wanted: e.g. cheap spinning disks for warm data nodes, fast solid state disks for hot data nodes and masters etc.

But reading through your post I don't think this is the case here. Have a look at this answer from @sebgl which lists a few options for local volume provisioning that will take the burden of managing persistent volumes manually from you:

A few options you may want to look at: If you have any network-attached PersistentVolume provider available, that's by far the easiest option. GCP persistent disks and AWS ELBs now offer pretty good performance, depend…
