Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question
You administer an AKS cluster running both Windows and Linux pods of a stateful application. The application requires persistent storage that can be accessed concurrently by multiple pods across different nodes. The storage must remain available even if pods are terminated. Which storage solution should you implement to meet these requirements?
Using Azure Files as persistent volumes provides the necessary shared storage accessible by multiple pods across different nodes. Azure Files supports both SMB and NFS protocols, allowing both Windows and Linux pods to access the same files. The data persists independently of the pods' lifecycle, ensuring it remains available even after pod termination.
Azure Disks are attached to individual nodes and cannot be shared across multiple pods on different nodes, making them unsuitable for this scenario.
emptyDir volumes are ephemeral and the data is deleted when a pod is terminated, which does not meet the persistence requirement.
ConfigMaps are designed to store configuration data, not persistent application data, so they are not appropriate for storing stateful application data.
