Q3 AKS Domain 1 · 20–25% of exam Priority · Real Exam

Which AKS upgrade concept lets you validate a new Kubernetes version on a subset of nodes before committing?

  1. A Blue-green node pools: add a new pool on the target version and migrate workloads (correct answer)
  2. B In-place control plane upgrade only
  3. C Deleting and recreating the cluster
  4. D Enabling the cluster autoscaler

Shortcut: Creating a second node pool on the new version and cordoning/draining the old one gives a reversible, incremental migration path with a clear rollback.
