Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate (KCNA) — Question 4

How long should a stable API element in Kubernetes be supported (at minimum) after deprecation?

Answer options

• A. 9 months
• B. 24 months
• C. 12 months
• D. 6 months

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as Kubernetes mandates that stable API elements must be supported for at least 12 months following their deprecation to ensure users have adequate time to transition. Options A (9 months), B (24 months), and D (6 months) do not meet the minimum requirement set by Kubernetes guidelines.
