Configure Storage for the Redpanda data directory in Kubernetes

    Redpanda brokers must store their data directories on disk (/var/lib/redpanda/data). By default, the Redpanda Helm chart uses the default StorageClass in a Kubernetes cluster to create one PersistentVolumeClaim for each Pod that runs a Redpanda broker. The default StorageClass in your Kubernetes cluster depends on the Kubernetes platform that you are using. You can customize your deployment to use the following storage volumes.
