## Overview
Local Path Provisioner provides a way for the Kubernetes users to utilize the local storage in each node. Based on the user configuration, the Local Path Provisioner will create `local` based persistent volume on the node automatically. It utilizes the features introduced by Kubernetes [Local Persistent Volume feature](https://kubernetes.io/blog/2018/04/13/local-persistent-volumes-beta/), but make it a simpler solution than the built-in `local` volume feature in Kubernetes.

## Compare to built-in Local Persistent Volume feature in Kubernetes
### Pros
Dynamic provisioning the volume using [local volume](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#local).
Dynamic provisioning the volume using hostPath.
* Currently the Kubernetes [Local Volume provisioner](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/sig-storage-local-static-provisioner) cannot do dynamic provisioning for the local volumes.
