A Kubernetes cluster has a Deployment with 3 replicas. After a recent update, the pods are CrashLoopBackOff. The team checks the logs and finds an error about a missing environment variable. The environment variable is defined in a ConfigMap. Which step should they take first to resolve the issue?

Increase the number of replicas

Verify that the ConfigMap exists and the pod is referencing it correctly

Roll back the Deployment to the previous version

Restart the kubelet on the nodes

A DevOps team wants to collect metrics from their Kubernetes cluster and applications to monitor resource usage and set up alerts. They need a solution that is widely adopted and integrates with the Kubernetes API. Which tool should they use?

Prometheus with the Kubernetes service discovery

What is the purpose of a Kubernetes Service?

To manage the lifecycle of pods.

To provide persistent storage to pods.

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

To store configuration data for applications.

Which of the following is a primary benefit of using a container orchestration platform?

It replaces the need for a host operating system.

It guarantees zero downtime during all updates.

It automatically scales containerized applications based on demand.

It eliminates the need for container images.

A pod is stuck in the Pending state. What is the most likely cause?

The scheduler cannot find a node that meets the pod's resource requirements.

The container image is not found.
