In today's world of container-based applications, the role of storage has become more critical than ever. One of the most significant challenges of containerization is the management of stateful applications. Kubernetes, one of the popular container orchestration platforms, provides a solution to this problem - Persistent Volumes (PVs). PVs allow the storage provision to be decoupled from the lifecycle of the Pod, making it easier to manage stateful applications.
