PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC)
A PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) is a Kubernetes resource used in SAP BTP, Kyma Runtime to request persistent storage for workloads. Developers use it to provision and bind durable storage volumes to their applications, ensuring data persists beyond the lifecycle of individual pods. In Kyma Runtime, a PVC is also a prerequisite for creating on-demand volume snapshots, enabling point-in-time backups of the underlying storage.
