Currently, volumes can either be Retained, Recycled or Deleted. Retention allows for manual reclamation of the resource. For those volume plugins that support it, deletion removes both the `PersistentVolume` object from Kubernetes as well as deletes associated storage asset in external infrastructure such as AWS EBS, GCE PD or Cinder volume.
