PersistentVolume (PV)
PersistentVolume is a cluster resource that represents a storage volume. In the Shturval platform, PVs are created only dynamically: when creating a PVC with the StorageClass specified, the provider (CSI driver) automatically creates a PV and binds it to the PVC.
Where to manage
Storage → PersistentVolumes (cluster level).
On the PersistentVolume (PV) page, you can view the specification with which the persistent volume was created, as well as the PersistentVolumeClaim that created the object.
