What is a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) and how does it relate to a PersistentVolume?

Accepted Answer

A PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) is a request for storage by a user/Pod that binds to an available PersistentVolume (PV) meeting its requirements. The PV is the actual storage resource provisioned in the cluster, while the PVC acts as a request that connects to the PV.
