Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate (KCNA) — Question 36

Scenario: You have a Kubernetes cluster hosted in a public cloud provider. When trying to create a Service of type LoadBalancer, the external-ip is stuck in the "Pending" state. Which Kubernetes component is failing in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Cloud Controller Manager
• B. Load Balancer Manager
• C. Cloud Architecture Manager
• D. Cloud Load Balancer Manager

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Cloud Controller Manager is responsible for managing cloud-specific control logic in Kubernetes, including the provisioning of resources like load balancers. If the external-ip is stuck in 'Pending', it indicates that the Cloud Controller Manager is unable to communicate with the cloud provider to provision the load balancer. The other options are not standard Kubernetes components and do not play a role in this scenario.
