Which capability do persistent volumes provide to containerized applications?
A. Automated disk archival
B. Support for in-memory databases
C. Support for ephemeral workloads
D. Retention of application state and data
Answer: D
Explanation:
Certain Kubernetes workloads require persistent storage to store data permanently. To provision persistent storage for Kubernetes workloads, vSphere with Tanzu integrates with Cloud Native Storage (CNS), a vCenter Server component that manages persistent volumes.
Persistent storage is used by vSphere Pods, Tanzu Kubernetes clusters, and VMs. The following example illustrates how persistent storage is used by a vSphere Pod. vSphere Pods use different types of storage depending on the objects that are stored. The types of storage are ephemeral virtual machine disks (VMDKs), persistent volume VMDKs, and containers image VMDKs:
• Storage policies for container image and ephemeral disks are defined at the cluster level.
• Storage policies for persistent volumes are defined at the namespace level.
• Networking for vSphere Pods uses the topology provided by NSX.
