hard📝 Conceptual Q10 of 15

Kubernetes - Production Best Practices

ABecause Kubernetes automatically adjusts requests and limits daily

BBecause workloads and usage patterns change over time, affecting resource needs

CBecause setting high limits always reduces costs

DBecause resource requests and limits have no impact on cost

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Recognize workload variability
Workloads change in resource consumption over time due to updates, traffic, or usage patterns.
Step 2: Understand impact on resource allocation and cost
Adjusting requests and limits ensures resources are not wasted or insufficient, optimizing cost and performance.
Final Answer:
Because workloads and usage patterns change over time, affecting resource needs -> Option B
Quick Check:
Changing workloads = Need to adjust requests/limits [OK]

Quick Trick: Adjust requests/limits as workloads change [OK]
