To prevent certain files from being tracked by Git, the administrator can use a .gitignore file (B) in the repository. The .gitignore file can specify patterns of files or directories that Git should ignore. This way, the Terraform state files will not appear in the main branch or any other branch. The other commands are not related to this requirement. References:

The command that will allow the technician to execute the services and continue deploying other microservices within the same terminal session is bg %1 job name. This command will send the job with ID 1 and name job name to the background, where it will run without occupying the terminal. The other options are incorrect because:

gedit & disown will launch a graphical text editor in the background and detach it from the terminal, but it will not execute any service.

kill 9 %1 will terminate the job with ID 1 using a SIGKILL signal, which cannot be ignored or handled by the process.

fg %1 will bring the job with ID 1 to the foreground, where it will occupy the terminal until it finishes or is stopped. References: CompTIA Linux+ Study Guide, Fourth Edition, page 181-182.

The command docker rm $(docker ps -aq) will allow the administrator to clean up the containers in an exited state. The docker command is a tool for managing Docker containers on Linux systems. Docker containers are isolated and lightweight environments that can run applications and services without affecting the host system. Docker uses images to create containers, which are files that contain the code, libraries, dependencies, and configuration of the applications and services. The rm option removes one or more containers. The $(docker ps -aq) is a command substitution that executes the command inside the parentheses and replaces it with the output.The docker ps -aq command lists all the containers, including the ones in an exited state, and shows only their IDs. The docker rm $(docker ps -aq) command will remove all the containers, including the ones in an exited state, by passing their IDs to the rm option. This will allow the administrator to clean up the containers in an exited state. This is the correct command to use to accomplish the task. The other options are incorrect because they either do not exist (docker rm --all or docker rm --state exited) or do not remove the containers (docker images prune *). References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 19: Managing Cloud and Virtualization Technologies, page 571.

Some good security practices when hardening a Linux server are:

Removing unnecessary packages (B) to reduce the attack surface and eliminate potential vulnerabilities

Disabling the SSH root login possibility (E) to prevent unauthorized access and brute-force attacks on the root account References:

The issue is caused by the server 192.168.168.53 being unreachable. This server is the DNS server configured in the /etc/resolv.conf file, which is used to resolve domain names to IP addresses. The ping command shows that the server cannot be reached, and the nslookup command shows that the name www.comptia.org cannot be resolved using this server. The other options are incorrect because:

The name www.comptia.org does point to a valid IP address, as shown by the nslookup command using another DNS server (8.8.8.8).

The default route is set on the server, as shown by the ip route command, which shows a default gateway of 192.168.168.1.

The network interface eth0 is connected, as shown by the ip link command, which shows a state of UP for eth0. References: CompTIA Linux+ Study Guide, Fourth Edition, page 457-458, 461-462.

The file that will need to be modified for the server to be able to boot again is /etc/fstab. The /etc/fstab file is a file that contains the information about the file systems that are mounted at boot time on Linux systems. The file specifies the device name, mount point, file system type, mount options, dump frequency, and pass number for each file system. The error message indicates that the dependency failed for /data, which is a mount point for a file system. This means that the system could not mount the /data file system at boot time, which caused the system to enter the emergency mode. The emergency mode is a mode that allows theadministrator to log in as the root user and perform basic tasks such as repairing the system. The administrator should modify the /etc/fstab file and check the entry for the /data file system. The administrator should look for any errors or inconsistencies in the device name, file system type, or mount options, and correct them. The administrator should also verify that the device and the file system are intact and functional by using commands such as blkid, fdisk, fsck, or mount. The administrator should then reboot the system and see if the issue is resolved. The file that will need to be modified for the server to be able to boot again is /etc/fstab. This is the correct answer to the question. The other options are incorrect because they are not related to the file systems that are mounted at boot time (/etc/mtab, /dev/sda, or /etc/grub.conf). References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 10: Managing Storage, page 321.

The most likely cause of the issue is that two default routes are configured on the server. The default route is the route that is used when no other route matches the destination of a packet. The default route is usually the gateway that connects the local network to the Internet. The server configuration shows that there are two default routes in the routing table, one with the gateway 192.168.1.1 and the other with the gateway 10.0.0.1. This can cause a conflict and confusion for the server when deciding which gateway to use for the outgoing packets. Some packets may be sent to the wrong gateway and fail to reach the Internet, while some packets may be sent to the correct gateway and work as intended. This can result in intermittent connectionissues and inconsistent behavior. The administrator should remove one of the default routes and keep only the correct one for the network. This can be done by using the ip route del command or by editing the network configuration files. This will resolve the issue and restore the connectivity. The other options are incorrect because they are not supported by the outputs. The DNS server, the IP netmask, and the ARP table are not the causes of the issue. References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 12: Managing Network Connections, pages 381-382.

The command that is used to configure the default permissions for new files is umask. The umask command is a tool for setting the default permissions for new files and directories on Linux systems. The umask value is a four-digit octal number that represents the permissions that are subtracted from the default permissions. The default permissions for files are 666, which means read and write for owner, group, and others. The default permissions for directories are 777, which means read, write, and execute for owner, group, and others. The umask value consists of four digits: the first digit is for special permissions, such as setuid, setgid, and stickybit; the second digit is for the owner permissions; the third digit is for the group permissions; and the fourth digit is for the others permissions. The umask value can be calculated by subtracting the desired permissions from the default permissions. For example, if the desired permissions for files are 664, which means read and write for owner and group, and read for others, then the umask value is 002, which is 666 - 664. The command umask 002 will set the umask value to 002, which will ensure that only file owners and group members can modify new files by default. The command that is used to configure the default permissions for new files is umask. This is the correct answer to the question. The other options are incorrect because they either do not set the default permissions for new files (setenforce, sudo, or chmod) or do not exist (kill -HUP or kill -TERM). References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 11: Managing File Permissions and Ownership, page 349.
