 StatefulSets manage the deployment and scaling of Pods while maintaining a sticky identity for each Pod. In this StatefulSet, we will configure a VolumeClaimTemplate. Each Pod managed by the StatefulSet will be deployed with a PersistentVolumeClaim based on this VolumeClaimTemplate. The PersistentVolumeClaim will refer to the PersistentVolume that we created. Therefore, when each Pod managed by the StatefulSet is deployed, it will be bound a PersistentVolume as defined in its PersistentVolumeClaim.
