Q1Domain Verified
When designing a highly available IKS cluster, which of the following is the most critical factor to consider for ensuring resilience against single availability zone failures?
Configuring persistent volume claims with local storage for critical data.
Implementing horizontal pod autoscaling for all application workloads.
Distributing worker nodes across multiple availability zones within the same region.
Relying solely on IBM Cloud's automatic node repair mechanism.
Q2Domain Verified
In the context of securing an IKS cluster, what is the primary security benefit of using IBM Cloud IAM roles and Kubernetes RBAC in conjunction?
IAM is used for authentication to the cluster, and RBAC is used for authorization to IBM Cloud resources.
IAM is responsible for container image scanning, and RBAC manages secrets within pods.
IAM handles cluster-wide administrative access, while RBAC manages fine-grained permissions within namespaces.
IAM provides network segmentation, and RBAC enforces encryption at rest for persistent volumes.
Q3Domain Verified
A developer is experiencing slow application performance within an IKS cluster and suspects network latency. Which IKS diagnostic tool or approach would be most effective for pinpointing the root cause of network-related performance bottlenecks between microservices?
Utilizing `istioctl analyze` within an Istio service mesh to identify traffic flow issues.
Analyzing `kubectl top pods` output to check CPU and memory utilization.
Inspecting the `kubelet` logs on individual worker nodes for errors.
Reviewing the cluster's Activity Log for significant events.
