KCNA Storage & Persistent Volumes

Question 1

What is the purpose of Persistent Volumes in Kubernetes?

Accepted Answer

Answer

Persistent Volumes (PVs) in Kubernetes offer a way to provision storage resources independently of Pods. This ensures that data remains available even if the Pods that were using it are deleted or rescheduled, providing durable storage for stateful applications.

Question 2

Which component is used to manage persistent storage in Kubernetes?

Accepted Answer

Persistent Volume Claim

A Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) is a request for storage by a user. It abstracts the details of the underlying storage, allowing users to consume abstract storage resources (Persistent Volumes) without needing to know the specifics of the storage provider.
