In this episode of Pithoracademy, we dive into Kubernetes StorageClasses—the foundation of dynamic persistent storage provisioning in modern Kubernetes environments. StorageClasses help automate how volumes are created and matched to workloads, making them essential for scalable, cloud-native storage. We explore:
What Are StorageClasses in Kubernetes?
Key Characteristics and Terminology
Core Concepts for Beginners to Understand Dynamic Provisioning
Why StorageClasses Were Introduced

Key Reasons to Use StorageClasses for Stateful Workloads
Impact of Not Using StorageClasses: Manual Provisioning Pitfalls
Real-World Example: Dynamic Volume Allocation in Action
How StorageClasses Are Implemented
Key Components (Provisioner, Parameters, ReclaimPolicy, etc.)
Best Practices and Beginner Takeaways
If you’re working with Persistent Volumes and PVCs, this episode will help you level up your understanding by adding automation, scalability, and flexibility through StorageClasses.
