Next, click on ADVANCED, and configure the following additional settings:
File System Mount: Block for raw block device or File to create an XFS Filesystem.
Region: Cloud region for media node serving the volume, such as East US.
Zones: A zone from which media will be allocated for the volume. It is expected that the volume will be attached to a node from the same zone, for optimal performance. If your policy defines Zone Resiliency, Volumez will automatically choose and allocate media on additional zones.
VPC: Cloud availability zones for the media node serving the volume.
Subnets

Use the YAML file in your Kubectl by using the apply -f command.
If the volumeBindingMode is Immediate, the PV will be allocated as soon as the PVC is submitted.
Wait for about 3 minutes. You can track the progress in the Volumez Portal in Status> Jobs
The PVC has now been created.
If the configured volumeBindingMode is WaitForFirstConsumer, the CSI will allocate the PV when the first application to be served is identified.
