CKA study material · question 512 of 1000
A cluster's control plane needs to decide whether a node is still alive. Which two mechanisms does a node use to report that it is? Choose two.
Show the answer
Answer: B. Updates to the .status of its own Node object
C. Renewal of a Lease object in the kube-node-lease namespace
Node heartbeats take exactly two forms: status updates on the Node object, and renewal of that node's Lease in kube-node-lease. Audit logs and Service endpoints play no part in liveness.
