Kubernetes Storage and Volumes - Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding Kubernetes storage is key to running stateful applications reliably. This FAQ breaks down how volumes work, what persistent storage really means, and how to handle dynamic provisioning. Devtron makes it simple to manage storage classes, PVCs, and multi-cloud volume strategies - all from a single dashboard.

What are persistent volumes in Kubernetes?
Persistent Volumes (PVs) are storage resources provisioned by an administrator or dynamically created, which pods can claim and use for persistent data storage.

What is a Persistent Volume Claim (PVC)?
A PVC is a request for storage by a pod, specifying size and access modes, which binds to a suitable Persistent Volume.

What types of storage classes are available in Kubernetes?
Storage classes define different types of storage, like SSDs, HDDs, or network-attached storage, with parameters for dynamic provisioning.

How does Devtron assist with Kubernetes storage management?
Devtron integrates storage configuration directly into its deployment UI. Users can define and track PVCs, associate them with Helm charts, and manage storage across environments without editing YAML manually.

Can Devtron help in visualizing PVC status and usage?
Yes. Devtron surfaces PVCs directly in the workload dashboard, letting teams observe volume binding, capacity usage, and related events within the same interface used for deployments.

What are volume plugins in Kubernetes?
Volume plugins enable Kubernetes to interact with various storage systems such as NFS, iSCSI, AWS EBS, GCE Persistent Disk, and more.

What is the difference between volume and volume mount in Kubernetes?
Kubernetes "volumes" define the storage medium or source itself. Think of them as the actual hard drive or storage device. They can be local storage, cloud storage, or other types. On the other hand, "volumeMounts" dictate how these volumes are mounted within the containers in a pod
