Choosing Retain instead of Delete causes the volume to stay after release.

The Delete reclaim policy means the volume and its data are deleted when released.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using invalid reclaim policies causes errors in Kubernetes.

Only Delete and Retain are valid reclaim policies in Kubernetes v1. Recycle is deprecated and others are invalid.

Fill both blanks to create a PersistentVolume with Retain policy and 20Gi storage.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up storage sizes or reclaim policies.

The storage size is set to 20Gi and the reclaim policy to Retain to keep the volume after release.

5fill in blank

Fill all three blanks to define a PersistentVolume with 15Gi storage, Delete reclaim policy, and name 'pv-delete'.

Kubernetes

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
  name: [1]
spec:
  capacity:
    storage: [2]

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong names or policies causes deployment issues.

The volume is named pv-delete, has 15Gi storage, and uses the Delete reclaim policy.
