## Topology Awareness
In [Multi-Zone](/docs/setup/multiple-zones) clusters, Pods can be spread across
Zones in a Region. Single-Zone storage backends should be provisioned in the Zones where
Pods are scheduled. This can be accomplished by setting the [Volume Binding
Mode](/docs/concepts/storage/storage-classes/#volume-binding-mode).

### Volume Binding Mode
{{< feature-state for_k8s_version="v1.12" state="beta" >}}
**Note:** This feature requires the `VolumeScheduling` feature gate to be
enabled.
The `volumeBindingMode` field controls when [volume binding and dynamic
provisioning](/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes/#provisioning) should occur.
By default, the `Immediate` mode indicates that volume binding and dynamic
provisioning occurs once the PersistentVolumeClaim is created. For storage
backends that are topology-constrained and not globally accessible from all Nodes
in the cluster, PersistentVolumes will be bound or provisioned without knowledge of the Pod's scheduling
requirements. This may result in unschedulable Pods.
A cluster administrator can address this issue by specifying the `WaitForFirstConsumer` mode which
will delay the binding and provisioning of a PersistentVolume until a Pod using the PersistentVolumeClaim is created.
PersistentVolumes will be selected or provisioned conforming to the topology that is
specified by the Pod's scheduling constraints. These include, but are not limited to, [resource
requirements](/docs/concepts/configuration/manage-compute-resources-container),
[node selectors](/docs/concepts/configuration/assign-pod-node/#nodeselector),
[pod affinity and
anti-affinity](/docs/concepts/configuration/assign-pod-node/#affinity-and-anti-affinity),
and [taints and tolerations](/docs/concepts/configuration/taint-and-toleration).
The following plugins support `WaitForFirstConsumer` with dynamic provisioning:
* [AWSElasticBlockStore](#aws-ebs)
* [GCEPersistentDisk](#gce-pd)
* [AzureDisk](#azure-disk)
The following plugins support `WaitForFirstConsumer` with pre-created PersistentVolume binding:

* [Local](#local)
### Allowed Topologies
{{< feature-state for_k8s_version="v1.12" state="beta" >}}
**Note:** This feature requires the `VolumeScheduling` feature gate to be
enabled.
When a cluster operactor specifies the `WaitForFirstConsumer` volume binding mode, it is no longer necessary
to restrict provisioning to specific topologies in most situations. However,
if still required, `allowedTopologies` can be specified.
This example demonstrates how to restrict the topology of provisioned volumes to specific
zones and should be used as a replacement for the `zone` and `zones` parameters for the
supported plugins.
