A developer creates a PVC that requests 5 GiB with access mode ReadWriteOnce. The cluster has two PVs: PV1 has 10 GiB ReadWriteOnce, PV2 has 5 GiB ReadWriteMany. Which PV will the PVC bind to?

Both, because the PVC can bind to multiple PVs

PV2, because it exactly matches the capacity

Neither, because the access modes must match exactly

PV1, because it matches the access mode and has sufficient capacity

In a Pod specification, how is a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) made available to a container?

By specifying the PVC name directly in the container's image definition

By using the 'kubectl attach' command to connect the PVC to the Pod

By setting the PVC name in the container's environment variables

By adding the PVC to the Pod's 'volumes' section and mounting it at a specific path in the container

A developer wants to deploy a pod that uses a dynamically provisioned persistent volume. The cluster has a default StorageClass named 'standard'. The developer creates a PVC without specifying a storageClassName. What will happen?

The PVC will bind to any existing PV regardless of StorageClass

The pod will fail to start because the PVC is invalid

The PVC will remain unbound because a StorageClass is required

The PVC will use the default StorageClass and dynamically provision a PV
