[bug\_fix] PersistentVolumeClaim Pending

Run \`kubectl describe pvc \` to see the provisioning error. Ensure a default StorageClass exists with \`kubectl get storageclass\`. If the requested storage class is missing, create it or change the PVC's \`storageClassName\`. If the CSI driver or cloud provider API is failing, check the driver controller logs and cloud quota.

Journey Context:
A StatefulSet Pod stays \`Pending\` because its PVC is \`Pending\`. \`kubectl describe pvc data-myapp-0\` shows \`waiting for a volume to be created, either by external provisioner "ebs.csi.aws.com" or manually created\`. \`kubectl get storageclass\` has no \`\(default\)\` annotation, and the PVC spec has no \`storageClassName\`, so no provisioner is selected. You annotate the correct StorageClass as default or set \`storageClassName: gp3\` in the PVC, delete the PVC so it is recreated, and the CSI driver provisions an EBS volume. If the driver logs show \`UnauthorizedOperation\`, you check the IAM role attached to the node instead.
