Get started

Create your first Persistent Volume Claim on a Kubernetes cluster.

Quickstart

Create a Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) on a Kubernetes cluster in under a minute.

TimeAbout 1 minute
You will needA connected Kubernetes cluster with at least one storage class
OutcomeA bound PVC ready for use in workloads

Open Storage

From the left sidebar, click Clusters, select your Kubernetes cluster, then click the Storage tab.

Switch to the PVC tab

The three tabs (PVC, NFS, CephFS) correspond to the storage types available on this cluster. Start on PVC.

Click Create PVC

The Create PVC modal opens.

Fill in the details

  • Name: A DNS-compatible name (lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens).
  • Namespace: The Kubernetes namespace this PVC belongs to.
  • Size: Enter a value and choose a unit (Ki, Mi, Gi, Ti).
  • Storage Class: Choose from the classes available on your cluster.
  • Access Mode: Select how the volume is accessed. Available modes depend on the storage class.

Click Create

The PVC appears in the list. Status moves to Bound once the cluster provisions it.

Success looks like this: the storage resource is created and appears in the storage list, ready to be mounted in jobs or endpoints.

PVCs are namespace-scoped. If your job and your PVC are in different namespaces, the job can't mount it directly, use NFS or CephFS to bridge across namespaces.
