Maxsurge — Certified Kubernetes App Developer (CKAD) Practice Questions
maxSurge is a rolling update parameter that controls how many extra pods above the desired replica count can exist at one time during an update. It can be expressed as an absolute number or a percentage of the desired replicas, and a higher value speeds up the rollout at the cost of temporarily increased resource consumption. On the CKAD exam, candidates need to set maxSurge appropriately in Deployment specs to satisfy update speed or resource constraint requirements described in task scenarios.
