A cluster has a PersistentVolume (PV) with reclaim policy Delete. A user deletes the PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) that is bound to this PV. What is the expected outcome?

The PV is deleted and the underlying storage is also deleted.

The PV is recycled and its data is wiped, then it becomes Available.

The PV is marked Available and can be re-used by a new PVC.

The PV remains in Released state and the data is preserved.

A cluster administrator is troubleshooting a PersistentVolume (PV) that is stuck in the Released state. The PV was bound to a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) that has been deleted. The reclaim policy is Retain. The administrator wants to make the PV available for a new claim without losing the data. What should the administrator do?

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

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

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

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