CKA study material · question 996 of 1000

A node is powered off abruptly and a StatefulSet Pod stays Terminating while its replacement cannot start. What is holding the replacement?

  1. The StatefulSet's OrderedReady policy
  2. The PersistentVolume's Retain reclaim policy
  3. The VolumeAttachment on the dead node, which is never removed
  4. The Pod's terminationGracePeriodSeconds
Show the answer

Answer: C. The VolumeAttachment on the dead node, which is never removed

With the kubelet gone nothing deletes the Pod or its VolumeAttachment, so the volume cannot attach elsewhere and the identically named replacement cannot start.
