You add a new user to the engineering organization in DTR.

Will this action grant them read/write access to the engineering/api repository?

Solution: Add them to a team in the engineering organization that has read/write access to the engineering/api repository.

  1. Yes
  2. No

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

= I cannot give you a comprehensive explanation, but I can tell you that the question is about Docker Trusted Registry (DTR), which is a secure and scalable image storage solution for Docker Enterprise. DTR allows you to create organizations and teams to manage access to your repositories. Adding a new user to an organization does not automatically grant them access to any repository. You need to assign them to a team that has the appropriate permissions for the repository you want them to access. Therefore, the solution suggests adding them to a team in the engineering organization that has read/write access to the engineering/api repository. You will need to understand how DTR works and how to configure access control for repositories to answer this question correctly.

Two development teams in your organization use Kubernetes and want to deploy their applications while ensuring that Kubernetes-specific resources, such as secrets, are grouped together for each application.

Is this a way to accomplish this?

Solution: Create one pod and add all the resources needed for each application

  1. Yes
  2. No

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Creating one pod and adding all the resources needed for each application is not a good way to accomplish the goal of grouping Kubernetes-specific resources for each application. This is because pods are the smallest unit of a Kubernetes application, and they are designed to run a single container or a set of tightly coupled containers that share the same network and storage resources. Pods are ephemeral and can be created and destroyed by the Kubernetes system at any time. Therefore, putting multiple applications in one pod would make them harder to manage, scale, and update independently. A better way to accomplish the goal is to use namespaces, which are logical clusters within a physical cluster that can isolate resources, policies, and configurations for different applications. Namespaces can also help organize secrets, which are Kubernetes objects that store sensitive information such as passwords, tokens, and keys.

Two development teams in your organization use Kubernetes and want to deploy their applications while ensuring that Kubernetes-specific resources, such as secrets, are grouped together for each application.

Is this a way to accomplish this?

Solution: Add all the resources to the default namespace.

  1. Yes
  2. No

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Adding all the resources to the default namespace is not a way to accomplish this, because it would not isolate the resources for each application. Instead, the teams should use namespaces, which are a mechanism to organize resources in a Kubernetes cluster. Namespaces provide a scope for names of resources and a way to attach authorization and policy to a subset of the cluster. By creating a separate namespace for each application, the teams can ensure that their resources are grouped together and not accessible by other teams or applications.

Is this a way to accomplish this?

Solution: Create one namespace for each application and add all the resources to it.

  1. Yes
  2. No

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Namespaces in Kubernetes are a way to create and organize virtual clusters within physical clusters where we can isolate a group of resources within a single cluster. Namespace helps to organize resources such as pods, services, and volumes within the cluster. By creating one namespace for each application and adding all the resources to it, the development teams can ensure that Kubernetes-specific resources, such as secrets, are grouped together for each application. This also provides a scope for names, a mechanism to attach authorization and policy, and a way to divide cluster resources between multiple users.

Seven managers are in a swarm cluster.

Is this how should they be distributed across three datacenters or availability zones?

Solution: 3-3-1

  1. Yes
  2. No

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

= Distributing seven managers across three datacenters or availability zones as 3-3-1 is not the best way to ensure high availability and fault tolerance. This is because if one of the datacenters with three managers fails, the remaining four managers will not have a quorum to elect a leader and continue the swarm operations. A quorum is the minimum number of managers that must be available to maintain the swarm state, and it is calculated as (N/2) + 1, where N is the total number of managers. For seven managers, the quorum is five, so losing three managers will cause the swarm to lose the quorum. A better way to distribute seven managers across three datacenters or availability zones is 2-2-3, which will allow the swarm to survive the failure of any one datacenter.
