Which two statements are true about Kubernetes Pods? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AA Pod is always highly available.
• BA Pod runs one or more containers.
• CA Pod can run no more than one container.
• DA Pod is the smallest execution unit in Kubernetes.
• EA Pod is a standard unit of software that packages up code and all its dependencies.

• A
  6% (3)
• B
  90% (45)
• C
  2% (1)
• E
  2% (1)

Explanation

B is correct because a Pod can contain one or more tightly coupled containers that share the same network namespace, storage volumes, and lifecycle - multi-container Pods (e.g., sidecar patterns) are a common real-world pattern. D is correct because the Pod is the atomic unit Kubernetes schedules and manages; you don't schedule individual containers directly.

Why the distractors fail:

• A - Pods have no built-in high availability; they can crash and stay down unless managed by a controller like a Deployment or ReplicaSet.
• C - Directly contradicts B; Pods support multiple containers.
• E - This describes a container image (or Docker container concept), not a Pod. Pods are a Kubernetes abstraction around containers.

Memory tip: Think of a Pod as a "container wrapper with a shared address" - it's the smallest schedulable thing in Kubernetes (D), and it wraps one or more containers (B) the way a pea pod holds one or more peas.
