When rightsizing your containers which of following would be focused on responding dynamically to different conditions? (Select One)

A. Node Rightsizing

C. Load Balancing

Answer: D

Explanation:
Autoscaling provides the ability to respond dynamically to different conditions, such as increased or decreased demand. This can take some architecting and iterative adjustments to get right for your application, and there is room for waste along the way. However, the more tightly your horizontal pod autoscaling (when we need more / less pods) and cluster autoscaling (when do we need more / less nodes) are configured, the less waste and unnecessary cost to run your application.

Which of the following are the FinOps sponsored Maturity Assessment Model steps/phases? (Select Three)

A. Crawl
B. Run
C. Evaluate
D. Assess
E. Walk

Answer: A,D,E

Explanation:
Crawl, Walk Run
The practice of FinOps is inherently iterative and maturity of any given process, functional activity, Capability or Domain will improve with repetition.
A "Crawl, Walk, Run" approach to performing FinOps enables organizations to start small, and grow in scale, scope and complexity as business value warrants maturing a functional activity. Taking quick action at a small scale and limited scope allows FinOps teams to assess the outcomes of their actions, and to gain insights into the value of taking further action in a larger, faster, or more granular way.
In assessing the state of an organization's FinOps Capability or Domain, we can also use these maturity designations to identify where we are currently operating, and to identify areas we'd like to move from a Crawl to a Walk, or from a Walk to a Run maturity.
