A team wants to allow volume expansion for a StorageClass. They edit the StorageClass to set allowVolumeExpansion: true. What is required for existing PVCs to be expandable?

The PVCs must be recreated with the updated StorageClass.

The PVCs must have been created with a StorageClass that had allowVolumeExpansion: true at creation time.

The PVCs must be deleted and recreated.

The PVCs must be in the Pending state.

A company uses a StorageClass with reclaimPolicy: Delete for its development environment. A developer accidentally deleted a PVC that was bound to a dynamically provisioned PV containing critical test data. The team needs to recover the data. What should they do?

Change the reclaimPolicy of the StorageClass to Retain and then recreate the PVC.

Use kubectl get pv to find the PV and manually re-create it from the underlying storage.

Restore the data from a backup taken before the PVC deletion.

Recreate the PVC with the same name and storageClassName to re-bind to the same PV.

What is the correct sequence of events when a PVC referencing a StorageClass is created?

PV created → PVC created → PV bound to PVC

PVC created → PV provisioned → PV bound to PVC

PVC created → PV bound to PVC → PV provisioned

PV provisioned → PVC created → PVC bound to PV

After a PVC is deleted, what happens to a dynamically provisioned PV whose StorageClass has reclaimPolicy: Delete?

The PV is kept but marked as Failed.

The PV remains in the Released state.

The PV and its underlying storage are deleted.

The PV is immediately available for another PVC.

Part of the Storage domain, which accounts for 10% of the CKA exam. Linux Foundation does not publish an official question count, but from its 120-minute exam (~50–80 total, ~5–8 in this domain), expect 2–3 from this objective — we provide 25 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
