Persistent Volume - CI/CD Glossary Definition
A persistent volume is cluster storage whose lifecycle is independent of any pod, claimed by a pod through a PersistentVolumeClaim. It survives pod restarts, which is what makes stateful workloads possible.
In CI
A persistent volume can hold a shared build or dependency cache across runner pods, but ephemeral-runner setups usually prefer a registry-backed cache so each job stays clean.
