Lesson 8. Theoretical Doubt: Relation between PV and PVC
Hello everyone.
How are you all doing?
I am doing the labs for lesson 8: VOLUMES AND DATA and I have a question. I don't understand how the persistentVolumes are related to the PersistentVolumeClaim.
I mean, if I create a PV:
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
name: pvvol-1
spec:
capacity:
storage: 1Gi
accessModes:
- ReadWriteMany
persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain
nfs:
path: /opt/sfw
server: k8scp
readOnly: false
I can see that it is not claimed by anyone.
~$ kubectl get pv NAME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES RECLAIM POLICY STATUS CLAIM STORAGECLASS REASON AGE pvvol-1 1Gi RWX Delete Available 87s
Now if I create a PVC:
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
name: pvc-one
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteMany
resources:
requests:
storage: 200Mi
Now I can see that the PV is claimed by the PVC pvc-one.
~$ kubectl get pv NAME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES RECLAIM POLICY STATUS CLAIM STORAGECLASS REASON AGE pvvol-1 1Gi RWX Delete Bound small/pvc-one 2m47s
But I have not specified that the PV pvvol-1 is claimed by pvc-one. So how are they related?
Thank you very much and best regards.

@dgsison A control loop in the master watches for new PVCs, finds a matching PV (if possible). In our case it checks only size to be matched. You also can use key
volumeNamekey in your PVC manifest to assign it explicitly. For example:apiVersion: v1 kind: PersistentVolumeClaim metadata: name: pvc-one spec: accessModes: - ReadWriteMany resources: requests: storage: 2000Mi volumeName: pvvol-1You can find more here: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes/
