Persistent Volumes — Certified Kubernetes App Developer (CKAD) Practice Questions
Persistent Volumes (PVs) are cluster-level storage resources provisioned by an administrator or dynamically by a StorageClass, decoupled from any individual pod's lifecycle. The CKAD exam tests a developer's ability to understand PV capacity, access modes (ReadWriteOnce, ReadOnlyMany, ReadWriteMany), and reclaim policies, even though provisioning is typically an operator concern. Developers must know how PVs are bound to PersistentVolumeClaims and what happens to data when a pod is rescheduled or deleted. Understanding PVs is essential for designing stateful applications that survive pod restarts without data loss.
