Weekend campground reservation spikes overload the city’s checkout microservice on OKE. How should the team scale capacity using orchestration’s primary scale knob?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Scale here means more copies of checkout, not one giant machine you babysit. Raising the declared replica count is the orchestration knob. Think lanes at a booth, not a bigger single window.
Full Explanation
Horizontal scaling under orchestration changes the desired replica count for the workload so additional Pods absorb traffic. Vertical SSH resizing of a single VM is not the orchestration-first pattern for microservices. ConfigMap values alone do not scale running replicas. Later OKE topics cover HPA; this item is the replica-count role itself.
