Does Elasticsearch support repository configuration for taking snapshot on kubernetes cluster with storage like - AWSElasticBlockStore, AzureDisk, Cinder etc which does not support ReadWriteMany?

Is it possible to take snapshot on repository that is based on PVC accessMethod ReadWriteOne in a Kubernetes cluster?

You have two options: use a shared filesystem (which I think is what Kubernetes calls `ReadWriteMany`) or use another repository type. For instance, [Minio (supported by the `repository-s3` plugin)](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/7.0/repository-s3-client.html#repository-s3-compatible-services) is a popular choice.
