Pods use PersistentVolumeClaims to request physical storage. In this exercise, you create a PersistentVolumeClaim that requests a volume of at least three gibibytes that can provide read-write access for at most one Node at a time.\n\nHere is the configuration file for the PersistentVolumeClaim\n\nCreate the PersistentVolumeClaim\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```shell\nkubectl apply -f https://k8s.io/examples/pods/storage/pv-claim.yaml\n```\n\nAfter you create the PersistentVolumeClaim, the Kubernetes control plane looks for a PersistentVolume that satisfies the claim's requirements. If the control plane finds a suitable PersistentVolume with the same StorageClass, it binds the claim to the volume.\n\nLook again at the PersistentVolume\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```shell\nkubectl get pv task-pv-volume\n```\n\nNow the output shows a STATUS of Bound.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```text\nNAME             CAPACITY   ACCESSMODES   RECLAIMPOLICY   STATUS    CLAIM                   STORAGECLASS   REASON    AGE\ntask-pv-volume   10Gi       RWO           Retain          Bound     default/task-pv-claim   manual                   2m\n```\n\nLook at the PersistentVolumeClaim\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```shell\nkubectl get pvc task-pv-claim\n```\n\nThe output shows that the PersistentVolumeClaim is bound to your PersistentVolume, task-pv-volume.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```text\nNAME            STATUS    VOLUME           CAPACITY   ACCESSMODES   STORAGECLASS   AGE\ntask-pv-claim   Bound     task-pv-volume   10Gi       RWO           manual         30s\n```\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
