2V0-71.23 Question 229
Single answerYou are tasked with configuring persistent storage for a Kubernetes cluster managed by VMware Tanzu. The storage solution must support dynamic provisioning, snapshotting, and work across multiple cloud providers. Which feature of the Container Storage Interface (CSI) makes it suitable for this scenario?
- A
CSI provides a universal API for storage plugins to interact with Kubernetes.
- B
CSI is limited to VMware vSphere storage integrations only.
- C
CSI does not support advanced features like snapshots or volume expansion.
- D
CSI allows storage plugins to be deployed as containers, enabling portability and flexibility.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The Container Storage Interface (CSI) is a standardized API that allows Kubernetes to interact with various storage systems in a consistent manner. It supports advanced features like dynamic provisioning, snapshots, and cloning, making it ideal for clusters that require persistent storage across diverse environments. By providing a universal API, CSI ensures compatibility with multiple storage providers, including cloud and on-premises solutions.
- A. Correct.
Correct. The Container Storage Interface (CSI) provides a standard API that allows storage plugins to interact with Kubernetes, enabling features such as dynamic provisioning, snapshotting, and compatibility with multiple storage systems, including those across cloud providers.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. CSI is not limited to VMware vSphere; it is a universal standard that works across different storage vendors and cloud providers.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. CSI supports advanced features such as snapshots, volume expansion, cloning, and more, depending on the implementation of the specific storage plugin.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While it's true that CSI allows storage plugins to be deployed as containers, this feature primarily supports flexibility and portability but is not the primary reason CSI is suitable for the described scenario.
