Answer 1

From the docs here

The storage for a given Pod must either be provisioned by a PersistentVolume Provisioner based on the requested storage class, or pre-provisioned by an admin.

There should be a StorageClass which can dynamically provision the PV and mention that storageClassName in the volumeClaimTemplates or there needs to be a PV which can satisfy the PVC.

volumeClaimTemplates:
  - metadata:
      name: elasticsearch-data-persistent-storage
    spec:
      accessModes: [ "ReadWriteOnce" ]
      storageClassName: "standard"
      resources:
        requests:
          storage: 10Gi
