Think of it as durable storage for your data, designed to outlast individual pods in your cluster. Persistent Volumes can be provisioned either statically or dynamically.

With static provisioning, a cluster administrator pre-defines a set of Persistent Volumes (PVs) with specific storage capacities that remain available until explicitly removed. In contrast, dynamic provisioning automatically creates storage resources based on the requirements of Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs).

The value lies in the ability of Persistent Volumes to support stateful applications, those that require a reliable storage backend that does not lose data when a pod is terminated. PVs enable you to manage storage declaratively, freeing you from worrying about the details of the underlying infrastructure.

The Storage feature in Container Cluster Management provides a centralized view and management capabilities for Persistent Volumes, Persistent Volume Claims and Storage Classes. Proper configuration enables efficient utilization and management of storage resources within container clusters.

To view storage data, follow these steps:

Log into Container Cluster Management. To learn more about navigating to the different services from each tenant, refer to Kyndryl Bridge Landing page navigation.
After signing in, access the CCM main dashboard. This is the central hub for all Container Cluster Management activities.
In the dashboard, locate the
Cluster table
, positioned towards the bottom of the interface. This table lists all the clusters available under your management.
Select the desired cluster in the
Cluster table
to open its detailed view.
Within the cluster details view, navigate to the
Storage
tab. Here, you will find options to view and manage Persistent Volumes, Persistent Volume Claims and Storage Classes associated with the selected cluster.
