A web application is running in pods labeled `app=web`. The team needs to expose it to external users on a specific port, but they also want to keep the service internal to the cluster for now. They create a ClusterIP service, but external users cannot access it. What is the most likely reason?

The pods are not listening on the correct port.

The service was created in the wrong namespace.

ClusterIP services are only reachable from within the cluster, not from external networks.

The service selector does not match the pods.

What is the purpose of a Deployment in Kubernetes?

To provide a stable network endpoint for a set of pods.

To manage a set of identical pods and provide declarative updates.

To run a single pod on a specific node.

To store configuration data as key-value pairs.

What is the primary role of the Kubernetes API server in a cluster?

To store all cluster state in etcd and serve as the front-end for all cluster operations.

To monitor node health and automatically reschedule failed pods.

To run container workloads and manage the container runtime on each node.

To provide DNS resolution and service discovery for pods within the cluster.
