A systems administrator is preparing a Linux system for application setup. The administrator needs to create an environment variable with a persistent value in one of the user accounts. Which of the following commands should the administrator use for this task?

  1. export "VAR=$VAR:value" >> ~/.ssh/profile
  2. export VAR=value
  3. VAR=value
  4. echo "export VAR=value" >> ~/.bashrc

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Adding export VAR=value to ~/.bashrc ensures the environment variable is set persistently for the user. The variable will load automatically in every new shell session.



Which of the following is a reason multiple password changes on the same day are not allowed?

  1. To avoid brute-forced password attacks by making them too long to perform
  2. To increase password complexity and the system's security
  3. To stop users from circulating through the password history to return to the originally used password
  4. To enforce using multifactor authentication with stronger encryption algorithms instead of passwords

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Restricting multiple password changes in one day prevents users from cycling through password changes just to reuse an old password, thereby enforcing stronger security practices.



Which of the following commands should an administrator use to convert a KVM disk file to a different format?

  1. qemu-kvm
  2. qemu-ng
  3. qemu-io
  4. qemu-img

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The qemu-img command is used to create, convert, and manage disk image files for KVM/QEMU. It allows conversion between formats such as qcow2, raw, and vmdk.



Users cannot access a server after it has been restarted. At the server console, the administrator runs the following commands:



Which of the following is the cause of the issue?

  1. The DNS entry does not have a valid IP address.
  2. The SSH service has not been allowed on the firewall.
  3. The server load average is too high.
  4. The wrong protocol is being used to connect to the web server.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The server is running and responding to pings, and DNS resolves correctly (dig server1 192.168.0.2). The ss -lnt output shows SSH (port 22) is listening, but the firewall (firewall-cmd --list-all) does not list SSH among the allowed services. Therefore, external users cannot connect because the firewall is blocking SSH.



A Linux software developer wants to use AI to optimize source code used in a commercial product. Which of

the following steps should the developer take first?

  1. Research which of the available AI chatbots are best at optimizing source code.
  2. Verify that the company has a policy governing the use of AI in software development.
  3. Install a private LLM to use on the internal network for source code optimization.
  4. Use open-source LLMs that undergo regular security reviews by the community.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Before using AI on commercial source code, the developer must first ensure compliance with company policies, legal requirements, and security standards. This prevents potential intellectual property, licensing, or confidentiality issues.



A DevOps engineer made some changes to files on a local repository. The engineer realizes that the changes broke the application and the changes need to be reverted back. Which of the following commands is the best way to accomplish this task?

  1. git pull
  2. git reset
  3. git rebase
  4. git stash

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The git reset command reverts changes in the local repository to a previous commit, effectively discarding the problematic modifications and restoring the application to a working state.



An administrator needs to remove the directory /home/user1/data and all of its contents. Which of the following commands should the administrator use?

  1. rmdir -p /home/user1/data
  2. ln -d /home/user1/data
  3. rm -r /home/user1/data
  4. cut -d /home/user1/data

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The rm -r command recursively removes a directory and all of its contents (files and subdirectories), which is required for deleting /home/user1/data.



Users cannot access an application that is running inside containers. The administrator wants to validate whether the containers are running. Which of the following commands should the administrator use?

  1. docker start
  2. docker ps
  3. docker run
  4. docker images

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The docker ps command lists all running containers, allowing the administrator to verify whether the application's containers are active.
