Quickstart

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

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

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

3. Click Create PVC — The Create PVC modal opens.

4. 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.

5. Click Create — The PVC appears in the list. Status moves to Bound once the cluster provisions it.

tip

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.
