PVC (PersistentVolumeClaim)

A PersistentVolumeClaim is a Kubernetes request for storage that is bound to a PersistentVolume, the actual disk. The disk keeps costing money even when no workload uses it, so ZopNight flags unbound claims and released volumes as orphaned. Why it matters: Leftover disks from deleted workloads are a common, silent storage cost.
