hard📝 Best Practice Q15 of 15

AWS - EKS

AManaged services require manual patching which improves control

BManaged services limit the number of nodes to prevent overload

CSelf-managed clusters automatically scale better than managed ones

DManaged services automate updates and handle failures reducing downtime

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand managed Kubernetes benefits for availability
Managed Kubernetes automates updates, monitors health, and recovers from failures to keep apps running.
Step 2: Evaluate options
Managed services automate updates and handle failures reducing downtime correctly states this. Managed services require manual patching which improves control is false because manual patching increases risk. Self-managed clusters automatically scale better than managed ones is incorrect; self-managed scaling is harder. Managed services limit the number of nodes to prevent overload is wrong; managed services do not limit nodes arbitrarily.
Final Answer:
Managed services automate updates and handle failures reducing downtime -> Option D
Quick Check:
Automation reduces downtime = B [OK]

Quick Trick: Automation and failure handling boost availability [OK]
