### Reclaiming
The reclaim policy for a `PersistentVolume` tells the cluster what to do with the volume after it has been released. Currently, volumes can either be Retained or Recycled.

The reclaim policy for a `PersistentVolume` tells the cluster what to do with the volume after it has been released of its claim. Currently, volumes can either be Retained, Recycled or Deleted. Retention allows for manual reclamation of the resource.
