CKA study material · question 853 of 1000
A Deployment using hostPort is scaled to 8 replicas on a 5-node cluster, and three Pods stay Pending. Why?
Show the answer
Answer: A. hostPort allows only one Pod per node, so replicas cannot exceed the node count
Binding a Pod to a hostPort limits placement to one such Pod per node, so a Deployment using it cannot have more replicas than the cluster has eligible nodes.
