Pod Scheduling — Certified Kubernetes App Developer (CKAD) Practice Questions
Pod scheduling is the process by which the Kubernetes scheduler assigns Pods to nodes based on resource requests, node capacity, taints, tolerations, affinity rules, and other constraints. The CKAD exam covers scheduling concepts including nodeSelector, nodeName, affinity and anti-affinity expressions, and taints with tolerations. Understanding how to influence where Pods land is important for designing workloads that meet availability, performance, or compliance requirements.
