Challenge

Create a PersistentVolume That Allows Claim Expansion

Create a hostPath PersistentVolume with a size of 1Gi that stores data on the host at /var/output. Ensure that this PersistentVolume is configured so that Pod volumes that use it can be expanded later. In addition, configure the volume so that it will be automatically reusable if the claims using it are deleted.

Note that you may need to create other objects in addition to the PersistentVolume object.
Challenge

Create a PersistentVolumeClaim

Create a PersistentVolumeClaim with a size of 100Mi. Make sure it is able to bind to the PersistentVolume.
Challenge
