AWS Module 3 — Kubernetes

Q1 — You have a Deployment managing 3 replicas of a web application Pod. One of the Pods crashes due to a memory error. What is the sequence of actions Kubernetes takes to remediate this, and which components are responsible?

b) The Scheduler assigns the failed Pod to a new node, and the Kubelet on that node starts it.
c) The ReplicaSet controller detects the desired number of replica (3) does not match the actual number (2). It creates a new Pod definition. The Scheduler then assigns this new Pod to an available node, and that node’s Kubelet instructs the container runtime to start the container.
