Which of the following statements best describes the role of the Scheduler in Kubernetes?

TheKubernetes Schedulerassigns Pods to nodes based on:

Resource requests & availability (CPU, memory, GPU, etc.)

Constraints (affinity, taints, tolerations, topology, policies)

Exact extract (Kubernetes Docs – Scheduler):

“The scheduler is a control plane process that assigns Pods to Nodes. Scheduling decisions take into account resource requirements, affinity/anti-affinity, constraints, and policies.”

Other options clarified:

A: Monitoring cluster health is theController Manager’s/kubelet’s job.

B: Security is enforced throughRBAC, admission controllers, PSP/PSA, not the scheduler.

C: Deployment scaling is handled by theController Manager(Deployment/ReplicaSet controller).
