What happens to a PersistentVolume (PV) when a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) that is bound to it is deleted?

The PV becomes Available again and can be bound to another PVC.

The PV is automatically bound to the next PVC that requests storage.

The PV enters a Released state, and its reclaim policy determines the next step.

A cluster administrator has a PersistentVolume (PV) with reclaim policy Retain. A user deletes the PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) that was bound to this PV. What happens to the PV and its data?

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

The PV's data is scrubbed and the PV becomes Available for a new claim.

The PV is immediately deleted and its data is permanently removed.

The PV remains in the Released state and the underlying data is preserved for manual recovery.

A cluster administrator has a PersistentVolume (PV) with reclaim policy Retain. A user accidentally deletes the PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) that was bound to this PV. The PV is now in the Released state. The administrator needs to make the PV available for a new claim without losing the data. What should the administrator do?

Create a new PVC with the same storage class and capacity; it will automatically bind to the Released PV.

Change the reclaim policy to Delete and then delete the PVC.

Edit the PV to remove the claimRef and change its status to Available.

Delete the PV and recreate it with the same storage details.
