Q79 / 100
What happens when a Pod's container exceeds its memory "limit"?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is B) The container is terminated by the kernel with an OOMKilled status, and depending on restartPolicy, the kubelet may restart it
B
Correct Answer
The container is terminated by the kernel with an OOMKilled status, and depending on restartPolicy, the kubelet may restart it
Explanation
Unlike CPU limits which throttle, exceeding a memory limit causes the kernel's OOM killer to terminate the container, which is then reported as "OOMKilled" and restarted per the Pod's restart policy.
