An administrator is creating a PersistentVolume (PV) for a team that needs to share a 100Gi NFS export across multiple pods on different nodes. The NFS server supports concurrent reads and writes from multiple clients. Which configuration should the administrator use for the PV?

capacity: 100Gi, accessModes: ReadWriteMany, nfs: {server: nfs.example.com, path: /export}

capacity: 100Gi, accessModes: ReadWriteOncePod, nfs: {server: nfs.example.com, path: /export}

capacity: 100Gi, accessModes: ReadOnlyMany, nfs: {server: nfs.example.com, path: /export}

capacity: 100Gi, accessModes: ReadWriteOnce, nfs: {server: nfs.example.com, path: /export}

An administrator creates a PersistentVolume (PV) with a reclaim policy of 'Retain'. A developer binds a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) to this PV, uses it in a pod, and then deletes the PVC. What happens to the PV and its data?

The PV remains in the 'Released' state, and the data is preserved for manual reclamation.

The PV is immediately deleted, and the data is permanently removed.

The PV is automatically re-bound to a new PVC that requests the same storage.

The PV's data is wiped, but the PV object remains in the cluster.

What is the purpose of a StorageClass in Kubernetes?

To set the reclaim policy for PersistentVolumes.

To manually create PersistentVolumes for static provisioning.

To define access modes for PersistentVolumes.

To define how storage is provisioned dynamically when a PVC is created.

How do you request a larger size for an existing PVC?

Delete and recreate the PVC with a larger size.

Modify the PV's spec.capacity.storage directly.

Create a new PVC and update the pod to use it.

Edit the PVC's spec.resources.requests.storage to a larger value.

Which field in a pod's volume spec references a PVC to mount?

persistentVolumeClaim.claimName

spec.containers.volumeMounts.name

Manage Persistent Volumes and Persistent Volume Claims CKA Practice Questions (Page 6)

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 33 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
