Given a VPA configured with updatePolicy: "Auto", what happens when pod memory usage increases beyond the requested amount?

AVPA increases the number of pod replicas

BVPA deletes the pod without replacement

CVPA sends an alert but does not change pod resources

DVPA automatically updates the pod's resource requests and restarts the pod

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand updatePolicy Auto
When updatePolicy is set to Auto, VPA automatically adjusts resource requests and restarts pods to apply changes.
Step 2: Exclude other behaviors
VPA does not scale pod count or just alert; it modifies resource requests and restarts pods.
Final Answer:
VPA automatically updates the pod's resource requests and restarts the pod -> Option D
Quick Check:
Auto updatePolicy means automatic resource update and pod restart = B [OK]

Quick Trick: Auto policy updates resources and restarts pods [OK]
