You're right the agent won't need read write. The volume is what needs to be setup as read write. See doc <https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes/#access-modes> Write - would be the "cron" updating the repo Read - would be the agents "cloning" Reading and Writing can't happen simultaneously.
