In ๐Š๐ฎ๐›๐ž๐ซ๐ง๐ž๐ญ๐ž๐ฌ , Do you know the difference between ๐•๐จ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ž ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ข๐ง๐  and ๐•๐จ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ž ๐Œ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  ?

In this blog , I am going to discuss the two familiar terms in kubernetes world.

  • The PersistentVolume (PV)represents a storage resource in the cluster.
  • The PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC)is a request for storage.
  • The binding process occurs when a PVC is associated with a PV that meets the requested storage size and other specifications.
  • This step is about reserving storage for the pod, but the actual storage is not yet attached to the pod.

  • After the binding is complete, the pod will mount the storage.
  • The mounted PV (from the PVC) is attached to a specific directory in the podโ€™s filesystem, allowing the pod to read from or write to the PV. The below image illustrates both the process.
