Kubernetes - Persistent Storage

How can you combine Volumes and Persistent Volumes to enable data sharing between multiple Pods?

AUse ConfigMaps to share data between Pods.

BCreate a Persistent Volume, bind it with a Persistent Volume Claim, and mount the PVC in multiple Pods.

CUse emptyDir volumes in each Pod and copy data manually between them.

DMount container filesystem volumes in all Pods.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand shared storage setup
Persistent Volumes bound to PVCs can be mounted by multiple Pods for shared data.
Step 2: Exclude ephemeral and config options
emptyDir is Pod-local, ConfigMaps are for config, container filesystem is isolated.
Final Answer:
Create a Persistent Volume, bind it with a Persistent Volume Claim, and mount the PVC in multiple Pods. -> Option B
Quick Check:
PV + PVC + multiple mounts = shared data [OK]

Quick Trick: Use PVC mounted in multiple Pods for shared persistent storage [OK]
