                                                    Linux Foundation Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate Sample Questions:

                                                    Question 1

                                                    What service account does a Pod use in a given namespace when the service account is not specified?

                                                    A. root
                                                    B. admin
                                                    C. sysadmin
                                                    D. default


                                                    Question 2

                                                    What is the purpose of the Gateway API in Kubernetes?

                                                    A. To provide a standardized interface for managing traffic routing to Services in a Kubernetes environment.
                                                    B. To enable applications to automatically adjust resource usage and scale up or down based on demand.
                                                    C. To collect, monitor, and log performance metrics for applications running inside Kubernetes Pods.
                                                    D. To define and manage persistent storage resources that are used by Pods within the cluster.


                                                    Question 3

                                                    What happens with a regular pod running in Kubernetes when a node fails?

                                                    A. A new, near-identical pod but with different UID is scheduled to another node.
                                                    B. A new pod with the same UID is scheduled to another node after a while.
                                                    C. By default, a pod can only be scheduled to the same node when the node fails.
                                                    D. A new pod is scheduled on a different node only if it is configured explicitly.


                                                    Question 4

                                                    Let's assume that an organization needs to process large amounts of data in bursts, on a cloud- based Kubernetes cluster. For instance: each Monday morning, they need to run a batch of 1000 compute jobs of 1 hour each, and these jobs must be completed by Monday night. What's going to be the most cost-effective method?

                                                    A. Run a group of nodes with the exact required size to complete the batch on time, and use a combination of taints, tolerations, and nodeSelectors to reserve these nodes to the batch jobs.
                                                    B. Commit to a specific level of spending to get discounted prices (with e.g. "reserved instances" or similar mechanisms).
                                                    C. Use PriorityClasses so that the weekly batch job gets priority over other workloads running on the cluster, and can be completed on time.
                                                    D. Leverage the Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler to automatically start and stop nodes as they're needed.


                                                    Question 5

                                                    Which API object is the recommended way to run a scalable, stateless application on your cluster?

                                                    A. Deployment
                                                    B. DaemonSet
                                                    C. ReplicaSet
                                                    D. Pod

                                                    This was never going to be such an easy task while giving full time to my job and making both ends meet. ActualPDF really is a good study platform, I passed KCNA exam with their help. I hope I can pass my next exam too.

                                                    I got one version of KCNA exam questions and later on an updated version. I studied both of them and passed with a high score. Nice to share with you! Thanks!
