    By automatically scaling pods based on resource usage or custom metrics -> Option A

  4. Quick Check:

    Autoscaling adjusts pods to traffic [OK]
Quick Trick: Kubernetes autoscaling handles traffic spikes [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking Kubernetes rewrites code
  • Assuming nodes scale permanently without control
  • Believing disabling pods helps traffic spikes
