Manage Storage in Kubernetes for CKA
In this lab, you’ll practice with persisting the data your application generates using Persistent Volumes. You will learn how to dynamically provision storage using storage classes and backup and restore your data in case of any issues. When you’re finished, you’ll have the required skills and knowledge to manage persistent storage in your Kubernetes cluster.

Challenge
Using Persistent Storage
In some uses cases, you may need to keep the data generated by your containers. In this challenge you will make use of Persistent Volumes to ensure the data is kept even after the container was stopped.

Challenge
Dynamically Provisioning Storage
When working with large infrastructures, the need of working with different types of storages arise. In this challenge you will use Storage Classes to dynamically provision volumes based on your application needs.

Challenge
Backing Up and Restoring Persistent Data
In this challenge, you'll learn to back up and restore persistent data in Kubernetes. You'll create a VolumeSnapshot, store data in a Persistent Volume, delete the volume to simulate data loss, and restore the volume from the snapshot to ensure the data remains intact.
