Question

A developer runs a single-container Pod that specifies resources.requests.cpu of 250m and resources.limits.cpu of 500m. During a load test, the container's process attempts to use 800m of CPU. What behavior will the container experience?

Accepted Answer

The container is CPU-throttled and capped at 500m; it continues running without being terminated.

Answer

The container is terminated (OOMKilled) because it exceeded its limit.

Answer

The Pod is evicted from the node because it exceeded its CPU request of 250m.

Answer

The kubelet automatically raises the CPU limit to 800m to satisfy the demand.
