3.

You can run Kubernetes directly on your laptop using Minikube or kind.

Click to reveal answer ›

Easy
✓ TRUE

True—Minikube creates a single-node cluster locally, and kind runs Kubernetes in Docker containers, perfect for development.

4.

Kubernetes can auto-scale pods to zero if no requests are coming in.

Click to reveal answer ›

Medium
✗ FALSE

Kubernetes can scale down, but not to zero by default; the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler requires at least one replica unless using custom metrics or add-ons.

5.

A Kubernetes Service can route traffic to pods based on their labels, not their IPs.

Click to reveal answer ›

Medium
✓ TRUE

True—Services use label selectors to dynamically target pods, abstracting away individual pod IPs.

6.

Kubernetes requires a separate database like etcd to store cluster state and configuration.

Click to reveal answer ›

Medium
✓ TRUE

True—etcd is the distributed key-value store that holds all cluster data, from secrets to pod specs.

7.

Kubernetes natively supports Windows containers on all node types without extra configuration.

Click to reveal answer ›

Hard
✗ FALSE

False—Windows container support is limited and requires Windows worker nodes; it’s not a seamless drop-in for Linux clusters.

8.

Kubernetes can schedule pods across multiple cloud providers in a single cluster.

Click to reveal answer ›

Hard
✗ FALSE

False—Kubernetes does not natively support multi-cloud clusters; that requires federation tools or custom networking solutions.
