What is the difference between persistent volume (PV) and persistent volume claim (PVC) in Kubernetes/ Openshift by referring to documentation?
What is the difference be
From the docs
PVs are resources in the cluster. PVCs are requests for those resources and also act as claim checks to the resource.
So a persistent volume (PV) is the "physical" volume on the host machine that stores your persistent data. A persistent volume claim (PVC) is a request for the platform to create a PV for you, and you attach PVs to your pods via a PVC.
Something akin to
Pod -> PVC -> PV -> Host machine
