Persistent Volumes & Storage

Part of the DevOps Roadmap.

Summary

Kubernetes' abstraction for durable storage that survives Pod restarts — PersistentVolumes represent actual storage, PersistentVolumeClaims are how a Pod requests it.

How to Learn This

  • 1Create a PersistentVolumeClaim and mount it in a Pod, then verify data survives a Pod restart.
  • 2Learn the difference between a PersistentVolume and a PersistentVolumeClaim.
  • 3Understand why stateful applications (like databases) need this, while stateless apps often don't.
