A customer has a containerized environment that uses Kubernetes. Developers attached a Volume to a pod, and the Volume disappeared when the pod stopped. Is this a correct way to help the customer preserve data beyond the lifetime of the pod? Make sure that the Volume has the same name as a Virtual Volume on a backend 3PAR array. You can use an HPE-provided Ansible playbook to correlate the two.

Kubernetes Volumes are ephemeral by default, meaning they are deleted when the pod is deleted. To preserve data beyond the lifetime of a pod, a Persistent Volume (PV) and Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) should be used instead.
