Start this lab

With the CLI installed and signed in, this command provisions a single node cluster on your Mac, applies the scenario setup and prints the task below.

goldenkube start cka-sto-002

Task

The task text exactly as the CLI shows it. Solve it on the cluster, then run goldenkube submit.

Create a PersistentVolume named "pv-manual": capacity 2Gi, accessMode ReadWriteOnce, hostPath /mnt/pv-manual, storageClassName "manual". Then, in namespace "data" (create it if missing), create a PersistentVolumeClaim named "pvc-manual" requesting 2Gi, accessMode ReadWriteOnce, storageClassName "manual", so that it binds to pv-manual.
