A Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) is a request for storage by a user in a Kubernetes cluster. It is a way for users to request specific amounts and types of storage resources without needing to know the details of the underlying storage infrastructure.
When a PVC is created, Kubernetes looks for a matching Persistent Volume (PV) that meets the requested criteria (such as size and access modes). If a suitable PV is found, it is bound to the PVC, allowing the user to use the storage in their Pods. PVCs enable dynamic storage provisioning and help manage storage resources in a more abstracted and user-friendly way.
