GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

Your team is migrating workloads to a GKE Autopilot cluster. In one Pod manifest you set a container's resource requests to 50m CPU and 256 MiB memory. After deployment, kubectl describe pod shows the Pod running with a 250m CPU request while the memory request remains 256 MiB. What explains this unexpected increase in the CPU request value?

  • Autopilot converts undersized CPU requests into additional memory, so the CPU request increases to preserve the required CPU-to-memory ratio.

  • Autopilot disregards all user-defined CPU requests and assigns values dynamically based on observed runtime usage.

  • Autopilot enforces a platform minimum of 0.25 vCPU per container and automatically rounds up any smaller CPU request to 250 mCPU, leaving valid memory requests unchanged.

  • Autopilot keeps the original resource requests but scales the underlying nodes, so the higher value you see is the node's allocatable CPU, not the Pod request.
