Debug an overloaded Kubernetes cluster

PerplexitySystem designLast asked Aug 2025

An infrastructure round: a service running on Kubernetes is overloaded. Say which metrics you want to see first; the interviewer draws them for you, and you narrow the cause down from there. Expect questions on how well you know Kubernetes (pods, requests and limits, autoscaling, scheduling) and on how you would stop the overload and keep it from returning.
