Hi [~azagrebin]
{quote}I briefly looked into the PR. It looks like we are re-implementing there 
specification of all types of mounted volumes. It is a lot of code (already 850 
new lines) to maintain and potentially extend with other volumes, possibly 
introduced in future.
{quote}
True, maintenance could be a problem in the long run.
{quote}Therefore, I am also wondering whether we should actually firstly try to 
introduce the pod template which enables even more customisation as I 
understand. If we just document examples of how to write the basic templates 
for basic customisation (e.g. volumes), this can already solve a lot. The pod 
template looks universal and less to maintain.
{quote}
I agree with the routine to first introduce the pod template, it saves our 
efforts to introduce lots of K8s-side advanced features, such as DNS 
configuration, pod affinity/anti-affinity.
{quote}As I understand the pod template design is in progress. Are there 
fundamental concerns or blockers for the pod template in 1.12? Something with 
init containers?

Yes, I am working on, currently, there are no blocker issues for this feature 
in 1.12.
