Read the first 6 CKA Storage and Volumes flashcards as text

  1. Which Kubernetes object represents a piece of storage provisioned by an administrator in the cluster?

    Answer: PersistentVolume

    A PersistentVolume (PV) is a cluster-level storage resource provisioned by an admin or dynamically via a StorageClass.

  2. What does a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) do in Kubernetes?

    Answer: Requests a specific amount and type of storage from the cluster

    A PVC is a user's request for storage, specifying size and access mode, which the cluster fulfills by binding to a matching PV.

  3. Which access mode allows a PersistentVolume to be mounted as read-write by a single node?

    Answer: ReadWriteOnce

    ReadWriteOnce (RWO) allows the volume to be mounted as read-write by exactly one node at a time.

  4. What happens to a PersistentVolume when its reclaim policy is set to 'Retain' and the PVC is deleted?

    Answer: The PV remains and must be manually reclaimed by an admin

    With the Retain policy, the PV is not deleted and holds the data until an administrator manually reclaims or deletes it.

  5. Which field in a PVC spec specifies the minimum storage size required?

    Answer: resources.requests.storage

    The `resources.requests.storage` field in a PVC spec indicates the amount of storage the claim is requesting.

  6. What is the state of a PersistentVolume when it is successfully bound to a PersistentVolumeClaim?

    Answer: Bound

    Once a PV is matched and bound to a PVC, its status changes to 'Bound', meaning it is exclusively reserved for that claim.
