Explain Kubernetes autoscaling and traffic routing
Kubernetes Control Plane ComponentsKubernetes ServicesHorizontal Pod Autoscaler and Cluster AutoPersistent Volumes and Persistent Volume CIngress and Ingress Controllers
Kubernetes Core Concepts
This question assesses your understanding of fundamental Kubernetes operational patterns and workload management.
- Autoscaling: Explain how autoscaling works within Kubernetes, covering both pod-level scaling (e.g., Horizontal Pod Autoscaler, Vertical Pod Autoscaler) and node-level scaling (e.g., Cluster Autoscaler).
- Traffic Routing: Describe the mechanisms by which external traffic is routed into a Kubernetes cluster and directed to the appropriate Pods.
- Workload Management: Differentiate between ReplicaSet and StatefulSet, detailing their primary use cases and when you would choose one over the other.
