Figure 1-20 Persistent volumes 1.9.1 Volume and claim lifecycle The Reclaim policy informs the cluster what to do with the volume after it has been released  from its claim Retain allows for the manual reclamation of the storage asset. The PVC is deleted but the PV  remains. Delete reclaim policy removes both the objects from within the cluster, as well as the  associated storage asset from the external infrastructure. Recycle has been deprecated and should no longer be used. Access Modes define how volumes can be mounted in the manner supported by the storage  provider GLYPH<SM590000> ReadWriteOnce (RWO) can be mounted as read-write by a single node and pod GLYPH<SM590000> ReadOnlyMany (ROX) can be mounted read-only by many nodes and pods GLYPH<SM590000> ReadWriteMany (RWX) can be mounted as read-write by many nodes and pods Note:  Reclaim policy and Access Modes may be defined differently by each storage  provider implementation.
