Storage Class

A StorageClass in Kubernetes defines the types of storage available within a cluster. It acts as an abstraction for underlying storage systems, allowing administrators to describe different storage options (e.g., SSD vs. HDD, different performance tiers) and their associated properties.

When you create a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC), you can specify a StorageClass. This instructs Kubernetes to provision a PersistentVolume (PV) that meets the requirements of that specific StorageClass.

The StorageClass tab displays a list of all available storage classes within the Kubernetes cluster and their creation time. Selecting a specific StorageClass provides access to its detailed specifications, including the provisioner, reclaim policy and many more.

You can also create a new Storage Class from this tab.

To create a StorageClass, simply:

  • Click on the ‘+ Storage Class' button
  • Provide the yaml/json definition of the StorageClass (You can write the definition here or upload it from your machine)
  • Click on apply
