A team needs to provision a raw block volume for a database. They create a PersistentVolume (PV) with volumeMode: Block and accessMode: ReadWriteOnce. They then create a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) with volumeMode: Block and accessMode: ReadWriteOnce. The PVC binds to the PV. When the pod that uses this PVC is scheduled, what must be configured in the pod spec to use the block volume?

A volumeMount with mountPath pointing to a directory and no special configuration.

A volumeMount with mountPath pointing to a file, such as /dev/sdb.

A hostPath volume that references the block device on the node.

A volumeDevices entry with devicePath pointing to a device path, such as /dev/sdb.

A team needs to provision storage for a new application. They want the storage to be created automatically when a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) is submitted, without manually creating PersistentVolumes (PVs). The cluster has a StorageClass named 'fast-ssd' configured with a provisioner. What should the team do to ensure the PVC triggers dynamic provisioning?

Create a PV with the same storageClassName and capacity as the PVC.

Create a PVC without specifying a storageClassName.

Set the storageClassName field in the PVC to 'fast-ssd'.

Set the volumeName field in the PVC to the name of the StorageClass.
