Answer 1

1. A PersistentVolume (PV) is a piece of storage in the cluster or central storage that has been provisioned by an administrator or dynamically provisioned using Storage Classes.

2. A PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) is a request for storage by a user. It is similar to a Pod. Pods consume node resources and PVCs consume PV resources.
