OpenShift Storage

Managing storage is a distinct problem from managing compute resources. OpenShift Container Platform uses the Kubernetes PersistentVolume (PV) framework to allow cluster administrators to provision persistent storage for a cluster. Developers can use PersistentVolumeClaims (PVCs) to request PV resources without having specific knowledge of the underlying storage infrastructure.

More information can be found in the Persistent storage overview page on OpenShift.
