This section introduces how to manage storage resources.

KubeSphere supports the management of the following storage resources:

  • Storage Class: Defines a class of Persistent Volume Claims available for containers to use.

  • Persistent Volume Claim (PVC): Defines the storage space requirements for a Persistent Volume.

  • Persistent Volume (PV): Represents a storage area in the backend storage system. The system creates storage areas available for containers in the backend storage system based on the parameters in the Persistent Volume Claim. Each storage area corresponds to a Persistent Volume on the KubeSphere platform.
