How does dynamic storage provisioning work?

When a user creates a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) and specifies an existing `StorageClass` in its definition, Kubernetes' dynamic provisioner, driven by the `StorageClass`, automatically provisions a new PersistentVolume (PV) that satisfies the PVC's requirements, eliminating the need for manual PV creation by an administrator.

An administrator creates a `StorageClass`, but it is the *user* who references it in a PVC, not an administrator including it directly in a pod YAML definition without a PVC.

A pod requests dynamically provisioned storage indirectly through a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC), not by directly including a StorageClass and the pod name in its definition.

An administrator creating a PersistentVolume and then including the name of that specific PersistentVolume in a PersistentVolumeClaim describes *static* provisioning, not dynamic provisioning.
