CKA study material · question 524 of 1000
A monitoring tool needs to detect a node going silent as early as possible. Which field does the control plane itself watch for that purpose?
Show the answer
Answer: A. spec.renewTime on the node's Lease object
Each kubelet heartbeat is an update to spec.renewTime on that node's Lease, and the control plane reads that timestamp to judge availability — which is why Leases were introduced alongside the heavier status updates.
