Overview of generic ephemeral volumes
Generic ephemeral volumes support network-attached storage, size limits, initial data population, and operations like cloning and snapshotting for temporary storage, with some driver-specific limitations.
Generic ephemeral volumes have the following features:
-
Storage can be local or network-attached.
-
Volumes can have a fixed size that pods cannot exceed.
-
Volumes might have some initial data, depending on the driver and parameters.
-
Typical operations on volumes are supported, assuming that the driver supports them, including snapshotting, cloning, resizing, and storage capacity tracking.

Generic ephemeral volumes do not support offline snapshotting and resizing. Due to this limitation, the following Container Storage Interface (CSI) drivers do not support the following features for generic ephemeral volumes:
