Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer: True
Explanation: Kubernetes is a challenge to manage, both on premises and in the cloud. Containerized environments are much more dynamic than non-containerized ones, with the average lifespan of a container being one day versus a typically much longer utilization time for a VM. Given the dynamic nature of the Kubernetes scheduler, workloads can be rescheduled across instance type, zone, or even region. This makes cost management even more complex, as you must keep up with the rapid pace of change.
