Dynamic Volume Provisioning	dynamicvolumeprovisioning	2018-04-12	/docs/concepts/storage/dynamic-provisioning	Allows users to request automatic creation of storage Volumes.		core-object storage

Allows users to request automatic creation of storage {{< glossary_tooltip text="Volumes" term_id="volume" >}}.

Dynamic provisioning eliminates the need for cluster administrators to pre-provision storage. Instead, it automatically provisions storage by user request. Dynamic volume provisioning is based on an API object, {{< glossary_tooltip text="StorageClass" term_id="storage-class" >}}, referring to a {{< glossary_tooltip text="Volume Plugin" term_id="volume-plugin" >}} that provisions a {{< glossary_tooltip text="Volume" term_id="volume" >}} and the set of parameters to pass to the Volume Plugin.
