Building-permits admins debate pre-creating PersistentVolumes versus letting a StorageClass mint them. Which statement correctly contrasts the workflows?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Static is stocking shelves ahead of time; dynamic is ordering from the warehouse when a claim arrives. Pre-create PVs if you want hand-picked binding, or point PVCs at a StorageClass and let the provisioner build volumes. Mixing up Ingress, hostPath-only myths, or “StorageClass does nothing” misses that fork.
Full Explanation
In static provisioning, administrators create PersistentVolumes in advance and PVCs bind to matching PVs. In dynamic provisioning, a PVC that references a StorageClass causes the provisioner to create a suitable PV automatically. Ingress and ConfigMaps are unrelated; hostPath versus CSI is orthogonal to the static/dynamic distinction; PVCs do honor StorageClass when configured.
