ICA Resilience And Fault Injection Practice Question
You notice that a pod is being ejected by Outlier Detection despite only having occasional errors. How do you increase the interval between ejection scans?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Set outlierDetection.interval to a higher value.
The interval field in OutlierDetection determines how often the health check is performed.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Set outlierDetection.interval to a higher value.
Why this is correct
Increasing the interval makes the detector scan less frequently, reducing the likelihood of premature ejection.
- ✗
Disable outlierDetection.
Why it's wrong here
Disabling it is not adjusting the interval.
- ✗
Set outlierDetection.baseEjectionTime to a higher value.
Why it's wrong here
This increases the duration the pod is out of service, not the scan frequency.
- ✗
Set outlierDetection.maxEjectionPercent to a higher value.
Why it's wrong here
This allows more pods to be ejected at once.
- ✗
Set outlierDetection.consecutive5xx to a higher value.
Why it's wrong here
This requires more errors to trigger an ejection, but doesn't change the scanning interval.
- ✗
Set connectionPool.tcp.maxConnections to a lower value.
Why it's wrong here
This affects connection limits, not outlier detection intervals.
