Question 1

You are managing a GKE Standard cluster. During peak hours, the pods are consuming all available CPU on the existing nodes, causing new pods to remain in a 'Pending' state. You need the cluster to automatically add more pods when CPU usage is high, and automatically add more VMs to the cluster when there is no room for new pods. Which TWO autoscaling mechanisms must you configure? (Select TWO)

Accepted Answer

Identify the Kubernetes mechanism for scaling pods, and the mechanism for scaling nodes.
