Question

Is there a way to get the dynamic provisioned PVC to have persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy  set to Retain instead of Delete?

Answer

You can consider checking below AWS blogs for persistent storage on Amazon EKS as they have example file system created with "persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy" set to 'Retain'

- https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/storage/persistent-storage-for-kubernetes/
- https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/containers/using-amazon-fsx-for-windows-file-server-as-persistent-storage-on-amazon-eks/

Sharing one example snippet

```
#pv.yaml
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
  name: efs-pv
spec:
  capacity:
    storage: 5Gi
  volumeMode: Filesystem
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  storageClassName: ""
  persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain
  csi:
    driver: efs.csi.aws.com
    volumeHandle: fs-073d77123471b2917
```
