Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate (KCNA) — Question 80

What methods can you use to scale a deployment?

Answer options

• A. With kubectl edit deployment exclusively.
• B. With kubectl scale-up deployment exclusively.
• C. With kubectl scale deployment and kubectl edit deployment.
• D. With kubectl scale deployment exclusively.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because both 'kubectl scale deployment' and 'kubectl edit deployment' can be used to adjust the number of replicas in a deployment. Option A is incorrect as it limits the method to just editing, while option B is not valid since 'kubectl scale-up deployment' is not a recognized command. Option D, while valid for scaling, does not include the ability to edit the deployment configuration.
