Persistent Volumes (PVs) in Kubernetes operate independently of Pods, offering data persistence essential for long-term applications like databases, ensuring data remains intact even if Pods are deleted.
PVs provide persistent storage backed by various systems, allowing users to opt for different solutions such as SSDs for performance and HDDs for larger data needs.
Lifecycle management policies for PVs enable control over data, including retention and reclamation policies, which ensure the efficient use of storage resources over time.
A Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) acts as a request from applications for storage, detailing requirements and preferences, and Kubernetes matches these to suitable PVs.
