 When you create a data volume, the Containerized Data Interface (CDI) creates a persistent volume claim (PVC) and populates the PVC with your data. You can create a data volume as either a standalone resource or by using a `dataVolumeTemplate` resource in a virtual machine specification. You create a data volume by using either the PVC API or storage APIs.

 Whenever possible, use the storage API to optimize space allocation and maximize performance.
