[Solved] Given this ResourceQuota YAML applied to namespace dev: apiVersion: v1 kind: ResourceQuota metadata: name: dev-quota namespace: dev spec: hard: pods: "3" requests.cpu: "1" requests.memory:... | Kubernetes

Kubernetes - Namespaces

Given this ResourceQuota YAML applied to namespace dev:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ResourceQuota
metadata:
  name: dev-quota
  namespace: dev
spec:
  hard:
    pods: "3"
    requests.cpu: "1"
    requests.memory: "1Gi"

What happens if you try to create a 4th pod in dev namespace?

AThe pod will be created normally without any error

BThe pod will be created but with limited CPU

CThe pod creation will fail due to exceeding the pod count quota

DThe pod will be created but memory will be limited to 1Gi

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand pod count limit in ResourceQuota
The quota limits pods to 3 in the dev namespace.
Step 2: Effect of creating 4th pod
Creating a 4th pod exceeds the pod count quota, so Kubernetes rejects the creation with an error.
Final Answer:
The pod creation will fail due to exceeding the pod count quota -> Option C
Quick Check:
Pod count quota exceeded = creation fails [OK]

Quick Trick: Pod count quota blocks pods beyond limit [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Assuming pod is created with limited resources
Thinking quota only warns but allows creation
Confusing CPU/memory limits with pod count
