Answer: C

Question 3

What is a crucial measure in Kubernetes to secure communication and data transfer, thereby mitigating the risk posed by an attacker on the network?

Options :

A : Increasing the number of pod replicas to distribute network traffic

B : Implementing network policies to control and restrict pod-to-pod communication

C : Automating pod deployments to reduce configuration errors

D : Using load balancers to evenly distribute incoming network traffic

Answer: B

Question 4

What is the primary purpose of enabling mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication on the Kubernetes API Server?

Options :

A : To increase the processing speed of API requests

B : To ensure load balancing of API requests across multiple servers

C : To provide encrypted and authenticated communication between clients and the API server

D : To facilitate automatic scaling of the API server based on traffic

Answer: C

Question 5

What is the primary security advantage of using client certificate authentication for Kubernetes API server access?

Options :
