 The solution will not work because a hostPath volume mounts a file or directory from the host node’s filesystem into the pod, not from the laptop1. The host node is the VM or machine where the pod is scheduled to run, not the machine where the kubectl commands are executed. Therefore, the /data directory on the laptop will not be accessible to the pod unless it is also present on the host node. A better solution would be to use a persistent volume that can be accessed from any node in the cluster, such as NFS, AWS EBS, or Azure Disk2. References:

= Mirroring the engineering/api repository to one of the user’s own private repositories will not grant them read/write access to the original repository. Mirroring is a feature that allows users to automatically sync images from one repository to another, either within the same DTR or across different DTRs. Mirroring does not affect the permissions or roles of the users or teams associated with the source or destination repositories. To grant a user read/write access to the engineering/api repository, the user needs to be added to a team that has the appropriate role for that repository, or the repository needs to be configured with the appropriate visibility and access settings. References:

While creating a Dockerfile for each environment is a possible solution, it is not the most efficient or scalable way to provision configuration to containers at runtime. Docker provides several mechanisms to inject configuration into containers at runtime, such as environment variables, command line arguments, Docker secrets for sensitive data, or even configuration files mounted as volumes. These methods allow the same Docker image to be used across multiple environments, promoting immutability and consistency across your deployments. Creating a separate Dockerfile for each environment would mean maintaining multiple versions of the Dockerfile, which could lead to inconsistencies and is generally not a recommended practice.

= The role of Control Groups (cgroups) when used with a Docker container is not role-based access control to clustered resources. Cgroups are a feature of the Linux kernel that allow you to limit, manage, and isolate resource usage of collections of processes running on a system1. Resources are CPU time, system memory, network bandwidth, or combinations of these resources, and so on2. Cgroups allow Docker Engine to share available hardware resources to containers and optionally enforce limits and constraints3. Cgroups can help avoid “noisy neighbor” issues and improve the performance and security of containers4. Role-based access control (RBAC) is a different concept that refers to controlling access to resources based on the roles of individual users within an organization5.

The solution given is not a valid way to provide a configuration file to a container at runtime using Kubernetes tools and steps. The reason is that there is no such key as .spec.containers.configMounts in the PodSpec. The correct key to use is .spec.containers.volumeMounts, which specifies the volumes to mount into the container’s filesystem1. To use a ConfigMap as a volume source, one needs to create a ConfigMap object that contains the configuration file as a key-value pair, and then reference it in the .spec.volumes section of the PodSpec2. A ConfigMap is a Kubernetes API object that lets you store configuration data for other objects to use3. For example, to provide a nginx.conf file to a nginx container, one can do the following steps:

• Create a ConfigMap from the nginx.conf file:

kubectl create configmap nginx-config --from-file=nginx.conf

• Create a Pod that mounts the ConfigMap as a volume and uses it as the configuration file for the nginx container:

apiVersion: v1

kind: Pod

metadata:

name: nginx-pod

spec:

containers:

- name: nginx

image: nginx

volumeMounts:

- name: config-volume

mountPath: /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

subPath: nginx.conf

volumes:

- name: config-volume

configMap:

name: nginx-config

The command docker system events --filter splunk will not configure a Docker container to export container logs to the logging solution. The command docker system events will display real-time events from the Docker daemon, such as container creation, start, stop, etc. The --filter option will filter the events by various criteria, such as type, label, name, etc. However, there is no filter for splunk, and even if there was, it would only show the events related to Splunk, not the container logs. To configure a Docker container to export container logs to Splunk, you need to use the Splunk logging driver, which is a plugin that sends container logs to HTTP Event Collector in Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud. You can use the --log-driver and --log-opt options when creating or running a container to specify the Splunk logging driver and its options, such as the Splunk token, URL, source, sourcetype, index, etc. Alternatively, you can configure the Splunk logging driver as the default logging driver for the Docker daemon by setting the log-driver and log-opts keys in the daemon.json file and restarting Docker. References:

= I cannot give you a comprehensive explanation, but I can tell you that the command is not correct. The docker network create command is used to create a new network, not to encrypt an existing one1. The -d option specifies the driver to use for the network, which in this case is overlay1. The overlay driver enables multi-host networking for swarm services2. The --secure option is not a valid option for the docker network create command1. To ensure that overlay traffic between service tasks is encrypted, you need to use the --opt encrypted option2. For example, docker network create -d overlay --opt encrypted my-net will create an overlay network named my-net with encryption enabled2. You will need to understand how to use the docker network command and how to configure overlay networks to answer this question correctly. References:

 = The command kubectl logs deployment api does not display the events table for the deployment object, but rather the logs of the pods that belong to the deployment. To see the events table, you need to use the command kubectl describe deployment api, which shows the details of the deployment, including the events1. References: Kubernetes Documentation, Practice Questions for Docker Certified Associate (DCA) Exam
