A team runs a stateful application on a cluster that uses dynamically provisioned storage. The application's pods are managed by a StatefulSet. The team needs to ensure that the storage class used provides the performance characteristics required by the application, and they want to avoid manual storage provisioning. Which resource should they configure?

A PersistentVolumeClaim with the required storage size

A ConfigMap with storage performance settings

A PersistentVolume manually created with the required performance characteristics

A StorageClass with the appropriate provisioner and parameters

A team exposes an HTTP-based microservice to the internet. They want to route traffic based on the URL path (e.g., /api to one service and /web to another). They also want to terminate TLS at the entry point. Which resource should they use?

A Service of type LoadBalancer for each microservice

A Service of type NodePort for each microservice

An Ingress resource with path-based routing rules and a TLS configuration

A ClusterIP Service with an external DNS record
