  1. Challenge

    Create a PersistentVolume

    1. Create a PersistentVolume called host-storage-pv with a storage capacity of 1Gi in the acgk8s context. Configure this PersistentVolume so that volumes that use it can be expanded in the future.

      Note: This may require you to create additional objects.

    2. Configure the PersistentVolume to use a hostPath for storage located at /etc/data.
    3. Configure the PersistentVolume so that it can be automatically reused if all claims are deleted.

  2. Challenge

    Create a Pod That Uses the PersistentVolume for Storage

    1. Create a Pod called pv-pod in the auth Namespace. Configure this Pod so that it uses the host-storage-pv PersistentVolume for storage.

      Note: This will require the creation of a PersistentVolumeClaim in the same namespace as the Pod.

    2. Name the PersistentVolumeClaim host-storage-pvc. Give your PersistentVolumeClaim a size of 100Mi.
    3. Use the busybox image for this Pod, and configure it to run the command sh -c while true; do echo success > /output/output.log; sleep 5; done.
    4. Mount the volume that uses the PersistentVolume for storage, such that the /output directory ultimately writes to the PersistentVolume.

  3. Challenge

    Expand the PersistentVolumeClaim

    Expand the PersistentVolumeClaim so that the requested storage size is 200Mi.
