What is StorageClass (SC)?
StorageClass is a Kubernetes storage resource that defines how to dynamically create PersistentVolumes (PVs) when a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) is made.
You don’t directly use a StorageClass. You create a PVC that references it and K8s then uses the StorageClass resource to provision the right PersistentVolume.
