In Kubernetes, a Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) is a request for storage by a user. It allows workloads to dynamically claim available storage resources without knowing the underlying storage details. Once bound, a PVC provides persistent storage to a Pod, surviving container restarts or re-creations.

Learn more about Persistent Volume Claims in the official Kubernetes documentation

The PVCs table displays all PersistentVolumeClaims in the cluster. Clicking a PVC opens a details panel with tabs like Overview, Details, YAML, and Events. Use the Namespace drop-down to filter PVCs by namespace or the Search Resources field to locate specific claims.

You can sort columns, select multiple PVCs using checkboxes, and delete them in bulk via the Delete Selected button. The Refresh button reloads the table, and additional actions like Edit and Delete are available through the More Actions menu.

Default Columns:

• Name: PVC name

• Namespace: Namespace where it is claimed

• Storage Class: Requested provisioner class

• Age: Created time

• Options: View, Edit, Delete

A PersistentVolume (PV) is a piece of storage in the cluster provisioned by an administrator or dynamically by a StorageClass. Unlike PVCs, PVs exist independently of any specific namespace. Once bound to a PVC, they provide storage for a workload until released or reclaimed.

The Persistent Volumes table lists all PVs in the cluster, showing capacity, access modes, and binding status. Clicking a PV opens a details panel with Overview, Details, YAML, and Events. Use the Search Resources field to find a specific PV.

You can sort columns, select multiple volumes for bulk deletion using Delete Selected, and update the view using Refresh. The More Actions menu includes Edit and Delete options for each volume.

Default Columns:

• Name: Persistent Volume name

• Storage Class: Provisioning class

• Capacity: Total storage size

• Claim: Bound PVC (if any)

• Age: Created time

• Status: Available, Bound, Released, or Failed

• Options: View, Edit, Delete

Storage Classes define the way storage is provisioned dynamically in Kubernetes. Each class defines a provisioner (e.g., AWS EBS, GCE PD, CSI drivers), parameters, and policies such as reclaim behavior. Storage Classes allow clusters to support multiple types of storage backends with different performance and replication settings.

The Storage Classes table lists all available provisioning classes in the cluster. Selecting a StorageClass opens a details panel with tabs like Overview, YAML, and Events. Use the Search Resources input to find specific classes.

Columns are sortable, and multiple Storage Classes can be selected for deletion via Delete Selected. Click Refresh to update the list. The More Actions menu allows quick access to Edit and Delete actions.

Default Columns:

• Name: Storage Class name

• Provisioner: CSI or in-tree driver used

• Reclaim Policy: What happens when PVC is deleted

• Default Class: Yes / No

• Age: Created time

• Options: View, Edit, Delete
