A municipal Wi-Fi backend needs Pods to reach the public Internet for vendor API calls. At CKA administrator depth, how do Pods typically obtain outbound Internet access?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Pods usually leave the building through the node's front door with NAT — they don't each need a public LoadBalancer badge just to call an external API.
Full Explanation
In typical clusters, Pod source addresses in the Pod CIDR are masqueraded or otherwise routed via the hosting node's network stack when traffic targets destinations outside the cluster. LoadBalancer Services expose inbound external entry points; they are not a prerequisite for outbound client connections. CoreDNS handles name resolution, and NetworkPolicy ingress does not create SNAT egress by itself.
