Overview
Before deploying Business Automation Workflow Containers v21.0.2. you need to prepare persistent volumes (PVs), persistent volume claim (PVCs), secrets, database and LDAP, this blog provides a list which you can get a view before the deployment, or cross-check with your environment after the deployment.

PVs/PVCs list

Notes:  PVs and PVCs below can be created automatically if you enabled and leverage dynamic storage, check the reference link in case you want to create them manually.
