= About dynamic provisioning
|
|
|
|
The `StorageClass` resource object describes and classifies storage that can
|
|
be requested, as well as provides a means for passing parameters for
|
|
dynamically provisioned storage on demand. `StorageClass` objects can also
|
|
serve as a management mechanism for controlling different levels of
|
|
storage and access to the storage. Cluster Administrators (`cluster-admin`)
|
|
or Storage Administrators (`storage-admin`) define and create the
|
|
`StorageClass` objects that users can request without needing any detailed
|
|
knowledge about the underlying storage volume sources.
|
|
|
|
The {product-title} persistent volume framework enables this functionality
|
|
and allows administrators to provision a cluster with persistent storage.
|
|
The framework also gives users a way to request those resources without
|
|
having any knowledge of the underlying infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
Many storage types are available for use as persistent volumes in
|
|
{product-title}. While all of them can be statically provisioned by an
|
|
administrator, some types of storage are created dynamically using the
|
|
built-in provider and plugin APIs.
