Question 1

You have been tasked with ensuring high availability for your SAS Viya environment that leverages Kubernetes for orchestration. One of your services that pulls images from an external Docker registry is experiencing latency and intermittent downtime. To mitigate this issue, your team is considering implementing a mirror registry. What is the primary benefit of configuring a mirror registry in this scenario?

Options :

A : A mirror registry will reduce the deployment time of new pods by caching Docker images closer to your cluster.

B : A mirror registry allows for image scanning and signing to enhance security.

C : A mirror registry provides version control capabilities for Docker images.

D : A mirror registry enables direct editing of Docker images without the need for an external registry.

Answer: A

Question 2

You have been asked to grant a user read, write, and delete permissions on a specific table in a CAS library, but you should ensure that no other user can modify these permissions. What is the best course of action to secure these authorizations?

Options :

A : Assign the user to a role with read, write, and delete permissions on the table and remove the ability to alter permissions from other roles.

B : Use the authorization action 'grant' to directly give the user the specified permissions on the table and 'lock' the permissions so they cannot be altered.

C : Modify the CAS table-s metadata with an access control entry to grant the user the needed permissions and assign the "Metadata: Administer All Permissions" to the user only.

D : Create a condition-based permission rule on the table to grant the necessary access to the user and ensure that only a security officer can change permission rules.

Answer: B

Options :

A : SAS Environment Manager backup and recovery service interface

B : The `backup` command-line utility with appropriate flags

C : The `sas-admin` command-line interface with appropriate backup-history options

Question 4

As a SAS Viya administrator, you must manage user-defined formats that are utilized by both SAS Studio and other SAS Viya applications. A requirement has been set that these formats must be available to all users and sessions without manual intervention. How should you make the formats available to fulfill this requirement?

Options :

A : Assign the user-defined formats to a global macro variable that is accessible by all SAS sessions.

B : Define the formats in the SASAUTOS directory and reference this directory in all SAS code.

C : Save the user-defined formats in an application-specific configuration file.

D : Incorporate the user-defined formats in a custom format catalog and save it in a permanent location that is pre-assigned for all sessions.

Question 5

An administrator needs to ensure that specific business units can only access SAS Viya content that pertains to their business unit. The organizations security policies also require that certain high-level summaries/dashboard views be accessible by all business units.

Options :

A : Assign all users to a common group for base-level access and create separate groups for each business unit to control specific content access.

B : Create a folder structure reflecting the hierarchy of the business units and assign individual permissions on each folder.

C : Grant all users administrative rights to ensure they can access all necessary content and rely on user discipline to not access other business units' data.

D : Use the SAS Viya guest account feature to allow universal access to high-level summaries and use individual user accounts to limit access to specific business unit content.

Answer: A
