Question

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

Answer 1

PV is a logical representation of storage attached to a Pod or a Deployment. It uses PVC to request storage resource from the physical storage resources in your Kube Cluster. In my opinion its relationship is more like:

Pods -> PV -> PVC -> Physical Storage

Many explanations online sounds confusing and I understand this from their relationship in manifest files.
