Q1Domain Verified
In the context of Kubernetes Deployments, what is the primary mechanism by which a Deployment controller ensures that a specified number of Pod replicas are running and healthy, even in the event of node failures or Pod crashes?
Job completion status
ReplicaSet reconciliation loop
DaemonSet node affinity
StatefulSet state management
Q2Domain Verified
When performing a rolling update on a Kubernetes Deployment, what is the default behavior of the Deployment controller regarding the creation of new Pods and the termination of old Pods, assuming no custom `maxUnavailable` or `maxSurge` values are set?
New Pods are created one by one, and old Pods are terminated one by one.
All old Pods are terminated before any new Pods are created.
All new Pods are created before any old Pods are terminated.
A fixed percentage of old Pods are terminated before new Pods begin to be created, followed by concurrent creation and termination.
Q3Domain Verified
Consider a scenario where a Kubernetes Deployment is configured with a `minReadySeconds` value of 60. What is the implication for Pod readiness during a rollout?
The Deployment will wait for 60 seconds after a Pod enters the `Running` state before considering it "ready" for the rollout.
The Deployment will consider a Pod "ready" immediately after it starts running.
The Deployment will only proceed with terminating old Pods if new Pods have been running and ready for at least 60 seconds.
The `minReadySeconds` setting primarily affects the time it takes for a Pod to be scheduled onto a node.
