A PVC is a request against a predefined persistent volume (PV), which is a logical volume handle in the cluster. A PV defines access to a storage resource that can be used through a PVC to store persistent data. To dynamically provision storage, you can create a PVC, which at the same time creates a supporting PV. Create a PVC using persistent storage or dynamic storage depending on your requirements.
