QuestionQ1

Managing the Data Protection Environment

An organization is deploying Kubernetes on bare metal.

What essential step must be taken to ensure data protection?

Explanation

Persistent Volumes provide durable storage that exists beyond the lifetime of an individual Pod, preserving application data when containers or Pods are restarted or replaced. Existing bare-metal storage should therefore be allocated as Persistent Volumes.

QuestionQ2

QuestionQ3

Fault Tolerance Techniques

A storage system uses erasure coding with 10 data segments and 2 coding segments. Each segment is written to a different drive.

What is the maximum number of drive failures this configuration can withstand without data loss?

Explanation

Two coding segments provide redundancy for up to two lost segments. Because every segment resides on a separate drive, the configuration can tolerate failure of two drives without losing data.
