kubectl get pv

Describe Persistent Volume

Provides detailed information about a specific Persistent Volume named <pv-name>.

kubectl describe pv <pv-name>

Delete Persistent Volume

Deletes the Persistent Volume named <pv-name> from the cluster.

kubectl delete pv <pv-name>

Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs)

Persistent Volume Claims are requests for storage by a user. They claim a Persistent Volume and bind it to a pod.

Create Persistent Volume Claim

Get Storage Classes

Lists all the Storage Classes available in the cluster.

kubectl get storageclass

Create Storage Class

Creates a Storage Class using the definition provided in the YAML file <storageclass-definition.yaml>.

kubectl create -f <storageclass-definition.yaml>

Describe Storage Class

Provides detailed information about a specific Storage Class named <storageclass-name>.

kubectl describe storageclass <storageclass-name>

Delete Storage Class
