Creating Persistent Volume Claim

A Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) is a request for storage to be claimed from existing Persistent Volumes. It will match any existing Persistent Volume based on the following criteria:

If storageClassName of PV is same as requesting PVC
Storage Capacity is same or higher than requesting PVC
AccessModes should be the same

If the claim matches all criteria listed above, the PV will bound with claiming PVC with Persistent Volume status as bound.

Sample PVC file

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: cc-pvc-volume
spec:
  storageClassName: manual
  accessModes:
  - ReadWriteMany
  resources:
     requests:
       storage: 2Gi

Follow the steps given below to create Persistent Volume Claim:

Save this file as cc-pvc-volume.yaml inside Kubernetes_scripts.

Invoke the following commands:

$ cd
$ cd Kubernetes_scripts
$ vi cc-pvc-volume.yaml

Copy the file content from the sample file given above into this file and save it.
```
$ kubectl create -f cc-pvc-volume.yaml
```
Invoke the following command to verify if the Persistent Volume Claim was created successfully.
```
$ kubectl get pvc
```
