What happens to a PVC that cannot find a matching PV?

It binds to any available PV regardless of size.

It remains in the Pending phase.

In static provisioning, what is required for a PVC to bind to a manually created PV?

The PVC must be created in the same namespace as the PV.

The PVC must specify a volumeName that matches the PV's name.

The PV must have a reclaimPolicy of Retain.

The PVC must reference the PV's storageClassName if the PV has one.

An administrator has a PersistentVolume (PV) with a reclaim policy of 'Retain'. A PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) that was bound to this PV is deleted. The administrator now wants to make the PV available for a new PVC. What steps must be taken to reuse the PV?

Delete the PV and recreate it with the same configuration.

Edit the PV and change its status from 'Released' to 'Available'.

Delete the PV, manually clean up the data, and then recreate the PV.

Create a new PVC that requests the same storage, and it will automatically bind to the released PV.

A cluster has two StorageClasses: 'fast' (provisioner: kubernetes.io/aws-ebs, allowVolumeExpansion: true) and 'slow' (provisioner: kubernetes.io/aws-ebs, allowVolumeExpansion: false). A developer creates a PVC without specifying a storageClassName. Which StorageClass will be used for dynamic provisioning?

No StorageClass will be used, and the PVC will remain Pending.

The 'fast' StorageClass, because it has allowVolumeExpansion set to true.

The 'slow' StorageClass, because it is the first one created.

The StorageClass that is annotated with storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class: 'true'.
