Persistent Volumes — Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) Practice Questions
Persistent Volumes (PVs) are cluster-scoped storage resources that exist independently of any individual Pod, allowing data to survive Pod restarts and rescheduling. The CKA exam covers how administrators provision PVs manually or through dynamic provisioning via StorageClasses, how access modes such as ReadWriteOnce and ReadWriteMany affect binding, and how reclaim policies determine what happens to the underlying storage when a claim is released. Understanding the binding lifecycle between PVs and PersistentVolumeClaims is essential for storage-related exam tasks.
