Read the first 6 CKA Storage and Volumes flashcards as text

  1. What Kubernetes object enables dynamic provisioning of PersistentVolumes?

    Answer: StorageClass

    A StorageClass defines the provisioner and parameters used to dynamically create PersistentVolumes on demand when a PVC is submitted.

  2. Which field in a StorageClass manifest defines the volume provisioner plugin to use?

    Answer: provisioner

    The `provisioner` field identifies the plugin (e.g., `kubernetes.io/aws-ebs` or `ebs.csi.aws.com`) responsible for creating volumes.

  3. What does setting `volumeBindingMode: WaitForFirstConsumer` on a StorageClass do?

    Answer: Delays volume binding until a Pod using the PVC is scheduled

    WaitForFirstConsumer defers PV creation and binding until a Pod that references the PVC is scheduled, enabling topology-aware provisioning.

  4. How do you mark a StorageClass as the default class in a cluster?

    Answer: Add the annotation storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class: 'true'

    Adding the annotation `storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class: 'true'` designates a StorageClass as the cluster default for PVCs that don't specify a class.

  5. Which reclaim policy in a StorageClass automatically deletes the underlying storage when a PVC is deleted?

    Answer: Delete

    The Delete reclaim policy causes the associated storage asset (e.g., an EBS volume) to be deleted when its PVC is removed.

  6. What kubectl command lists all available StorageClasses in a cluster?

    Answer: kubectl get sc

    The command `kubectl get sc` (or `kubectl get storageclasses`) retrieves all StorageClass objects in the cluster.
