I have an EKS cluster which has following files.

1)mysql deployment file 2)pvc claim file 3)storageclass file

when I run all three files, dynamically ebs volume is created. Then I make an entry in mysql table and try to delete and recreate the pod.

Now everything in ebs volume gets deleted and there is no data.

I am trying to figure out how to make the data persistent when pod or deployment gets deleted and started again.
