Under node memory pressure, a sanitation platform team must reason about which pods the kubelet is more likely to evict first. Which statement is correct?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When the node runs out of breathing room, BestEffort pods are the first to get the tap on the shoulder. Guaranteed workloads with matched requests and limits sit higher on the survival list.
Full Explanation
Kubernetes QoS classes—Guaranteed, Burstable, and BestEffort—are derived from how requests and limits are set. Under memory pressure the kubelet preferentially evicts lower-QoS pods, so BestEffort workloads are typically targeted before Guaranteed ones. Ingress controllers do not assign QoS, and Burstable pods remain eligible for eviction when they exceed requests.
