Dynamic provisioning allows PVCs to automatically request storage from a cloud provider. When provisioning fails, the PVC stays Pending indefinitely.
kubectl get storageclasskubectl describe pvc -n <namespace> <pvc-name>kubectl get pods -n kube-system | grep provisionerVerify AWS/GCP/Azure credentials are configured.
Create PV manually as workaround.
Some cloud providers require additional setup for dynamic provisioning.
