kubernetes	Kubernetes: kubernetes_persistent_volume	docs-kubernetes-resource-persistent-volume-x	A Persistent Volume (PV) is a piece of networked storage in the cluster that has been provisioned by an administrator.

kubernetes_persistent_volume

The resource provides a piece of networked storage in the cluster provisioned by an administrator. It is a resource in the cluster just like a node is a cluster resource. Persistent Volumes have a lifecycle independent of any individual pod that uses the PV.

More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes/
