A pod is in the 'Pending' state and is not being scheduled. The engineer runs 'kubectl describe pod' and sees an event that says '0/3 nodes are available: 3 Insufficient cpu'. The engineer checks the node resource usage and finds that the nodes have available CPU. Which additional check should the engineer perform?

Check the kube-proxy configuration

Check for ResourceQuotas in the pod's namespace

Check the kubelet logs on the nodes

A DevOps engineer needs to update a configuration value that is consumed by a running Deployment. The value is stored in a ConfigMap. The engineer updates the ConfigMap, but the pods do not reflect the change. The engineer wants the pods to pick up the new value without manual intervention. Which approach should the engineer take?

Edit the Deployment and change the ConfigMap name

Delete the ConfigMap and recreate it with the new value

Mount the ConfigMap as a volume instead of using environment variables

Restart the kubelet on the nodes where the pods run
