StorageClasses and Dynamic Provisioning
Learn how StorageClasses let Kubernetes provision Persistent Volumes automatically, on demand, without manual admin work.
The Manual Storage Problem
With static provisioning, an admin must create each PersistentVolume by hand before a PersistentVolumeClaim can bind. That does not scale.
Dynamic provisioning creates volumes automatically when a claim is made.
What Is a StorageClass?
A StorageClass describes a type of storage a cluster can offer: which provisioner to use, what parameters, and how volumes behave.
Think of it as a template for creating PersistentVolumes on demand.
