Persistent Volume Claim

A Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) is a Kubernetes API object that reserves storage resources from a PersistentVolume, allowing it to be mounted as a volume within a container. A PVC defines the storage capacity, access mode (read-only, read-write, and/or exclusive), and reclaim policy (retained, recycled, or deleted) for the reserved storage. The specifics of the storage are defined in the PersistentVolume object, while the PVC serves as a claim on that storage resource.
