Your question is Container Orchestration and Scaling Strategy. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
You are supporting a production application that has outgrown single-host deployments and now needs a more resilient container platform. Traffic is variable, releases are frequent, and the business expects minimal downtime during deployments and traffic spikes.
Describe your experience with container orchestration and scaling strategies. How would you approach Kubernetes-based deployment, horizontal scaling, load balancing, and high availability for a production service?
