=== Local persistent volumes ===
These are persistent volumes which are mapped to special folders of the host filesystem of the node. Each node exposes several persistent volumes which can be claimed. The user can not control exactly which volume is bound to a claim, but can request a minimum size. A persistent volume claim for a local PV is configured like this. Code examples can be found in the subdirectory "kubernetes/example_2" of the tutorial sample code, [[File:Kubernetes_samples.zip|Kubernetes samples]].
