I created a volume for my kubernetes cluster using a persistent volume claim (PVC). I destroyed the cluster when I had finished using it, but kept the volume because it might be useful in future. I now want to create a new cluster and attach the existing volume.
How can I attach that volume to a new kubernetes cluster?

We got similar issue, we snapshot old volume and deployed it on new volume in new cluster. Both needs to be on same datacenter or you try rsync by attaching volume manually to a droplet
Hey there! Quick update for you. This solution should work for you to use an existing volume.
