Kube-Scheduler — Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) Practice Questions
The kube-scheduler is the control plane component responsible for selecting an appropriate node for each unscheduled Pod based on resource requests, node affinity, taints and tolerations, and other constraints. The CKA exam tests candidates on configuring node selectors and affinity rules, applying taints to nodes and tolerations to Pods, and diagnosing why a Pod remains in the Pending state due to scheduling constraints. Understanding how to manually assign a Pod to a node using nodeName is also a practical skill covered in the exam.
