AI services sometimes need durable storage for embeddings, cached artifacts, or conversation state. Container filesystems are ephemeral by default. Data is lost when a Pod restarts or moves to a different node. PersistentVolume (PV) and PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) provide storage that survives Pod restarts and rescheduling. You declare a PVC to request storage with specific capacity and access modes. Kubernetes binds the claim to a PersistentVolume that meets your requirements. Azure provides multiple storage options for AKS including CSI drivers that integrate Azure storage services and Azure Container Storage for container-optimized performance.
