Persistent Volume

Glossary Page

A PersistentVolume (PV) is a Kubernetes API object that represents storage within a cluster. Unlike storage that is specific to an individual Pod, PVs are a general resource that persists beyond the lifecycle of any given Pod. The PV API abstracts the details of how storage is provided, separate from how it is consumed. PVs are primarily used in cases where storage can be pre-provisioned statically. However, when on-demand storage is required, Kubernetes utilizes PersistentVolumeClaims (PVCs) instead.
