Kubernetes - Monitoring and Logging

How can monitoring help optimize Kubernetes cluster costs?

ABy increasing node sizes regardless of usage

BBy identifying underused nodes and enabling scaling down

CBy deleting all pods during low traffic periods

DBy disabling resource limits to allow unlimited usage

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand cost optimization via monitoring
Monitoring shows resource usage patterns to find underused nodes.
Step 2: Apply scaling to reduce costs
Scaling down underused nodes saves money; increasing sizes or deleting pods is inefficient or harmful.
Final Answer:
By identifying underused nodes and enabling scaling down -> Option B
Quick Check:
Cost optimization = Scale down underused nodes [OK]

Quick Trick: Scale down unused nodes to save costs [OK]
