kubectl top node shows 30% CPU used, while kubectl describe node reports 90% of CPU requested. Which statement reconciles the two?
Show the answer
Answer: D. top measures actual use while describe sums what was reserved
kubectl top reports consumption from the Metrics API; kubectl describe node adds up the requests the scheduler has committed. Workloads that over-request produce exactly this gap.
