The format used for Kubernetes resource files.

  1. CSV

  2. JSON

  3. XML

  4. YAML

The correct answer is: YAML

YAML is indeed the correct format used for Kubernetes resource files. This format is favored in Kubernetes due to its readability and ease of use for defining configuration data. YAML allows for hierarchical data representation which makes it simpler to organize complex configurations, such as those found in Kubernetes manifests. Each resource in Kubernetes, including Deployments, Services, and Pods, can be defined in a YAML file, making it a standard format for deployment and configuration management in a Kubernetes environment. While JSON is another format that can be used for Kubernetes resource files, it is not as commonly utilized primarily due to its more verbose syntax, which can make it less user-friendly for configuration purposes. CSV and XML are not typically used for defining Kubernetes resources, as they do not provide the necessary structure and readability that YAML or JSON offer for such configurations.
