Q

What is a Kubernetes namespace?

A

A Kubernetes namespace can be used to divide a cluster into multiple virtual clusters, which can be used for multi-tenancy when multiple teams share a cluster.

A

core-dns

39
Q

What are Network Policies?

A

Network Policies act as cluster internal firewalls. Network policies can be defined for a set of pods or namespaces.

40
Q

Network Policies are implemented by the __________ plugin.

A

network

41
Q

In Kubernetes, what is scheduling?

A

Scheduling is a sub-category of container orchestration and describes the process of automatically choosing the right (worker) node to run a containerized workload on.

42
Q

In a Kubernetes cluster, the ___________ is the component that makes the scheduling decision, but is not responsible for starting the workload.

A

kube-scheduler

43
Q

Regarding Pods, what is the default behavior of Kubernetes schedulers?

A

The default behavior is to schedule the Pod on the node with the least amount of Pods.
