Volume Plugin

A Volume Plugin is a feature that allows for seamless integration of storage within a Kubernetes Pod. With a Volume Plugin, storage volumes can be attached and mounted for use by the Pod. Volume plugins can be classified as either in-tree or out-of-tree. In-tree plugins are part of the Kubernetes code repository and are released in accordance with its schedule. On the other hand, out-of-tree plugins are developed independently and can be maintained outside of the Kubernetes codebase.
