# Storages Storages in Kubernetes are used to manage various aspects of storage required by applications running in a cluster.

There are two tabs on the Storages page * Persistent Volumes are storage resources in a cluster that are pre-created and available for use by users. * Persistent Volume Claim is a request for storage by a user. PVCs are similar to pods in the context of compute resources. Pods consume node resources, while PVCs consume PV resources. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
