medium📝 Debug Q7 of 15
Kubernetes - Resource Management
A pod's CPU request is set higher than its limit. What will happen when the pod is scheduled?
AThe pod will run normally with CPU throttling
BThe pod will fail to schedule due to invalid resource configuration
CThe pod will ignore the CPU limit and use the request value
DThe pod will be scheduled but crash immediately
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand resource request vs limit rules

    CPU request must not exceed CPU limit; otherwise, Kubernetes rejects the pod.

  2. Step 2: Analyze options

    Only The pod will fail to schedule due to invalid resource configuration correctly states the pod will fail scheduling due to invalid config.

  3. Final Answer:

    The pod will fail to schedule due to invalid resource configuration -> Option B

  4. Quick Check:

    Request > limit causes scheduling failure [OK]
Quick Trick: Request must be ≤ limit; else pod won't schedule [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming pod runs ignoring invalid resource specs
  • Confusing request and limit roles
  • Expecting pod to crash instead of scheduling failure
