CKA Kubernetes Storage Administration Quiz

1. What happens when a Pod mounts a PVC that has no bound PV?

Pod starts without the volume

Pod remains pending until a PV is available

Pod fails immediately

Kubernetes creates a PV automatically

2. Which command lists all PersistentVolumes in a cluster?

Kubectl get pvc

Kubectl get pv

Kubectl describe volumes

Kubectl list storage

3. The 'local' volume type provides node-local storage that persists across pod restarts.

True

False

4. What must be defined to enable dynamic provisioning of PersistentVolumes?

A provisioner in the StorageClass

Manual PV creation

A dedicated storage controller

A PVC with specific labels

5. A PersistentVolume with 'Retain' reclaim policy allows data to be manually recovered after PVC deletion.

True

False

6. A StorageClass with 'volumeBindingMode: WaitForFirstConsumer' delays PV binding until a Pod requests the PVC.

True

False

7. Which Kubernetes resource represents a piece of storage provisioned in a cluster?

PersistentVolume (PV)

PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC)

StorageClass

VolumeSnapshot

8. A PVC can bind to multiple PVs at the same time.

True

False

9. Which volume type is suitable for temporary pod storage that is lost when the pod terminates?

PersistentVolume

EmptyDir

ConfigMap

Secret

10. What is the relationship between a Pod and a PersistentVolume?

Pods directly reference PVs

Pods reference PVCs, which bind to PVs

Pods create PVs on demand

No direct relationship exists

11. A PersistentVolume is cluster-scoped, not namespace-scoped.

True

False

12. Which reclaim policy deletes a PV when its PVC is deleted?

Retain

Delete

Recycle

13. What does a StorageClass automate in Kubernetes?

Manual PV provisioning

Dynamic PV provisioning

Pod scheduling

Network policy enforcement

14. Which access mode allows multiple pods to read and write to the same volume simultaneously?

ReadOnlyOnce

ReadWriteOnce

ReadWriteMany

WriteOnlyMany

15. What is the primary purpose of a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC)?

To define storage provisioning rules

To request storage resources from a PV

To manage volume snapshots

To encrypt data at rest

16. Which StorageClass provisioner is typically used for cloud provider integration?

Kubernetes.io/no-provisioner

Cloud provider-specific provisioner (e.g., aws-ebs, gce-pd)

Kubernetes.io/host-path

Kubernetes.io/nfs

17. Which Kubernetes object allows you to create point-in-time copies of volumes?

VolumeSnapshot

PersistentVolume

StorageClass

VolumeBackup

18. The 'hostPath' volume type is recommended for production multi-node clusters.

True

False

19. Which field in a PVC specifies the amount of storage requested?

StorageSize

Resources.requests.storage

Capacity

Size

20. Which access mode restricts volume access to a single node for both read and write?

ReadOnlyOnce

ReadWriteOnce

ReadWriteMany

SingleNodeRW
