The Retained Volume
Someone deleted a database deployment by accident. The good news: the data is still on disk. In the next few minutes you'll reconnect it the way the CKA exam expects.
This is a CKA Storage walkthrough. Every command below is real output from a live cluster, and you can reproduce the whole thing yourself (scripts at the end).
The scenario
A MariaDB deployment in the mariadb namespace was deleted. Its volume uses the Retain reclaim policy, so the data survived. Your task: create a claim for that volume, point the deployment at it, apply, and verify the pod is running with no restarts.
