Kubernetes - Service Mesh
Which component in a service mesh is primarily responsible for collecting telemetry data?
AData plane proxy sidecar
BControl plane
CKubernetes scheduler
DPersistent volume
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify telemetry data source in service mesh
The data plane proxy sidecar runs alongside each service pod and intercepts traffic to collect telemetry data like metrics and traces.
Step 2: Eliminate other options
The control plane manages configuration but does not collect telemetry directly. Kubernetes scheduler and persistent volumes are unrelated to telemetry collection.
Final Answer:
Data plane proxy sidecar -> Option A
Quick Check:
Telemetry collection = data plane proxy sidecar [OK]
Quick Trick:Telemetry comes from sidecar proxies, not control plane [OK]
Common Mistakes:
Confusing control plane with telemetry collector
Thinking Kubernetes scheduler collects telemetry
Assuming storage components handle telemetry
