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

✓

oc get pods -o custom-columns=NAME:.metadata.name,CPU:.spec.containers[*].resources.requests.cpu

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✗
oc get quota
Why it's wrong here
oc get quota shows namespace quota limits, not individual pod specifications.
✗
oc describe namespace my-namespace
Why it's wrong here
Describing a namespace shows quotas, but not individual pod resource settings.
✓
oc get pods -o custom-columns=NAME:.metadata.name,CPU:.spec.containers[*].resources.requests.cpu
Why this is correct
Custom columns allow extracting specific resource requests and limits from pod specifications.
✗
oc adm top pod -n my-namespace
Why it's wrong here
oc adm top shows current utilization, not configured requests and limits.
