Question 1

A company is deploying a new Kubernetes cluster to manage its microservices architecture. The cluster will be hosted on a cloud provider and needs to ensure high availability and fault tolerance. The team decides to use a multi-zone deployment strategy across three availability zones (AZs). Each AZ will host an equal number of nodes, and the total number of nodes in the cluster is 18. How many nodes will be allocated to each availability zone, and what considerations should be made regarding pod distribution and service availability across these zones?

Accepted Answer

6 nodes per availability zone, ensuring that pods are distributed evenly to maintain service availability.

Question 2

Calico with Network Policies

Question 4

In a Kubernetes environment, a company is implementing Pod Security Policies (PSPs) to enhance the security posture of their applications. They want to ensure that only specific types of containers can run within their pods, particularly focusing on restricting privileged containers and enforcing the use of read-only root filesystems. Given the following requirements: 1) All containers must run as non-root users, 2) Privileged containers must be disallowed, and 3) The root filesystem must be read-only, which configuration would best achieve these security goals while allowing flexibility for future changes?

Accepted Answer

A Pod Security Policy that specifies `runAsUser` must be set to a non-root UID, `privileged` must be set to false, and `readOnlyRootFilesystem` must be set to true.

Question 5

In a Kubernetes environment, you are tasked with managing sensitive information such as API keys and passwords. You decide to use Kubernetes Secrets to store this sensitive data. Given the following scenarios, which approach best ensures that the secrets are securely managed and accessed by the applications while minimizing exposure to unauthorized users?

Question 6

In a Kubernetes environment, a company is implementing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to manage permissions for its development team. The team consists of three roles: Developer, Tester, and DevOps Engineer. Each role has specific permissions that need to be assigned to various resources within the cluster. The Developer role requires access to create and update deployments, the Tester role needs permission to view logs and execute tests, while the DevOps Engineer requires full access to manage all resources. If the company wants to ensure that the Tester role cannot accidentally delete any resources, which of the following RBAC configurations would best achieve this goal while still allowing the Tester to perform their necessary functions?

Accepted Answer

Create a Role for the Tester that grants permissions to get, list, and watch pods, but explicitly denies delete permissions.

Question 7

In a Kubernetes environment, a company has implemented Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to manage permissions for its development team. The team consists of three roles: Developer, Tester, and DevOps Engineer. Each role has specific permissions assigned to it.
