A seasonal parks ticket burst should scale Pods with HPA without patching worker instances or babysitting pool capacity. Which OKE node type fits?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Virtual nodes are the serverless data plane: no worker VM patching, no capacity babysitting, Pods scale with HPA. They need VCN-native pod networking and do not support instance-principal patterns that assume a worker VM—plan IAM accordingly.
Full Explanation
Official OKE virtual nodes provide a serverless Kubernetes data plane. You avoid worker-instance patching and pool capacity chores; HPA scales the Pods. Virtual nodes require VCN-native pod networking and do not support instance-principal patterns that assume a worker instance. They are not flannel-only, and HPA remains the pod scaler.
